Abstract

The sheer banality of stating the Web as wide deeply impacts on any aim to control it or regulate it or, again, improve it on the strength of some principles and best practices. This is the case of Web accessibility. Whenever Public institutions, according to the law in force, have to provide strategies for Web accessibility promotion and surveillance, they always have to face a diverse, rapidly varying and endless scenario of pages and services over the Net. And it happens at every level: from regions to countries, from Public health to universities. Reports which come from automatic, in time monitoring of such a wide realm, represent a suitable solution to make any intervention and prevention effective and efficient. This paper presents the VaMoLà project, which has been issued to integrate a monitor and a validator of the Web accessibility, according to the Italian Law. By using such tools, evaluations of two different samples of Italian Public administrations Web sites were conducted and their results are illustrated in the following.
