ISO/IEC TR 13066-6:2014 情報技術—支援技術（AT）との相互運用性—パート6：Javaアクセシビリティアプリケーションプログラミングインターフェイス（API） | ページ 5

2.1

accessible object

a part of the user interface that is accessible by and exposes the Java accessibility API

Note 1 to entry: An accessible object is represented by an object of the “AccessibleContext” Java class

2.2

application programming interface

API

collection of invocation methods and associated parameters used by one piece of software to request actions from another piece of software

[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 18012-1 Information technology - Home electronic system - Guidelines for product interoperability - Introduction, definition 3.1.1]

2.3

application software

software that is specific to the solution of an application problem

[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 2381-1, definition 10.04.01]

2.4

Assistive Technology

(AT)

hardware or software that is added to or incorporated within a system that increases accessibility for an individual

[SOURCE: ISO 9241-171, definition 3.5]

Note 1 to entry: Within this document, where Assistive Technology (and its abbreviation AT) is used, it is to be considered as both singular and plural, without distinction. If it is to be used in the singular only, it will be preceded by the article"an" (i.e. an Assistive Technology). If it is to be used in the plural only, it will be preceded by the adjective"multiple" (i.e. multiple AT).

2.5

class

a term from object oriented programming, also used in the Java programming language, denoting the definition/description of an object containing code (methods) and data (fields)

Note 1 to entry: Much of the Java accessibility API consists of these class definitions, and implementations of the Java accessibility API are instances of these classes.

Note 2 to entry: In objected oriented programming - and specifically in the Java programming language - classes can be “subclassed” (e.g. a dialog box class is a subclass of the more generic window class), and portions of the Java accessibility API are implemented as subclasses (e.g. AccessibleRole, AccessibleState, and AccessibleRelation are all subclasses of the more generic AccessibleBundle class).

2.6

compatibility

the capability of a functional unit to meet the requirements of a specified interface without appreciable modification

[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 2381-1, definition 10.06.11]

2.7

information/communication technology

(ICT)

technology for gathering, storing, retrieving, processing, analysing and transmitting information

[SOURCE: ISO 9241-20, definition 3.4]

2.8

interface

<general software> a shared boundary between two functional units, defined by various characteristics pertaining to the functions, physical interconnections, signal exchanges, and other characteristics, as appropriate

[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 2381-1, definition 10.01.38]

2.9

interface

<Java programming language> in object oriented programming generally - and the Java language in particular - an interface is a set of public methods (and potentially public fields) that all objects implementing the interface must include

Note 1 to entry: As with Java programming language classes that can be “subclassed”, interfaces can be “subclassed” as well - and the result is called a “subinterface”.

Note 2 to entry: Much of the Java accessibility API is implemented as Java interfaces, and some of these as subinterfaces (e.g. the AccessibleEditableText interface is a subinterface of the more generic AccessibleText interface).

2.10

interoperability

the capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units

[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 2381-1, definition 10.01.47]

2.11

inter-process communication

(IPC)

a mechanism by which different software processes communicate with each other - across process boundaries, runtime environments, and sometimes also computers and operating systems

2.12

operating system

(OS)

software that controls the execution of programs and that may provide services such as resource allocation, scheduling, input-output control, and data management

Note 1 to entry: Although operating systems are predominantly software, partial hardware implementations are possible.

[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 2381-1, definition 10.04.08]

2.13

package

<Java programming language> a collection of class and interface definitions that are related to one another, and which are bundled together (into a package)

2.14

runtime environment

a software environment that provides all of the resources necessary for software applications to run, yet is not itself an operating system

Note 1 to entry: Virtual machines are type of runtime environment, which are explicitly emulating one or more specific sets of hardware.

2.15

software

all or part of the programs, procedures, rules, and associated documentation of an information processing system

Note 1 to entry: Software is an intellectual creation that is independent of the medium on which it is recorded.

[SOURCE: ISO/IEC 2381-1, definition 10.01.08]

2.16

user interface

(UI)

mechanisms by which a person interacts with a computer system

Note 1 to entry: The user interface provides input mechanisms, allowing users to manipulate a system. It also provides output mechanisms, allowing the system to produce the effects of the users’ manipulation.

2.17

user interface element

user interface object

DEPRECATED: user interface component

entity of the user interface that is presented to the user by the software

[SOURCE: ISO 9241-171 definition 3.38]

Note 1 to entry: User interface elements may or may not be interactive.

Note 2 to entry: Both entities relevant to the task and entities of the user interface are regarded as user interface elements. Different user interface element types are text, graphics and controls. A user interface element may be a representation or an interaction mechanism for a task object (such as a letter, a sales order, electronic parts, or a wiring diagram) or a system object (such as a printer, hard disk, or network connection). It may be possible for the user to directly manipulate some of these user interface elements.
