Generating On-Line Cross-Referenced HCI Guidelines for the Disabled

This paper deals with the problem of converting existing human-computer interface guidelines for the disabled into hypertext on the WWW. First, it introduces a method to generate hypertext from text. This method relies on the structuring of an ASCII text file to generate hierarchical and navigational links. It also relies on statistical measures to generate cross-references. Then it goes on with a case study concerning the hypertext conversion of general HCI Guidelines. Finally it tackles the problem of specific HCI disability guidelines, by showing how four different sets of guidelines have been integrated into a single on-line hypertext database.
