      <h2><span class="secno">2. </span>Use Cases and Requirements</h2>
      <p>There are many ways users can successfully interact with content even
        if they cannot see, or see well, images included in that content. The <code>alt</code>
        attribute is designed to ensure that for everyday work, a user has
        enough information to replace an image, and often this is more helpful
        than a detailed description of every image. The <code>longdesc</code>
        attribute is designed to complement this functionality, to meet the
        following use cases. </p>
      <h3>Use Cases</h3>
      <dl>
        <dt>Identifying a well-known image</dt>
      </dl>
      <dl>
        <dd>There are many well-known images which are widely reproduced and
          well known. In some cases, such as "Mona Lisa", "Gerníka", Cubbin's
          "Lost", Leunig's "ramming the shears", the most effective way to refer
          identify an image to another person is by the creator, title, and
          similar information that would be found in a catalogue. But different
          people know the images by different titles, and some images have no
          widely known titles. Identifying an image is often an important part
          of framing a discussion. Where the image itself cannot be seen, a
          description can often be used to offer easier recognition than the
          cataloguing information, for example "Washington crossing some river,
          standing heroically in the boat, while soldiers do the hard work", or
          "the Da Vinci picture of the guy in a square and a circle".</dd>
        <dd><em>Requires</em>: Discoverability</dd>
        <dd><em>Helped by</em>: Inline, Reuse</dd>
        <dt>Describing a complex diagram</dt>
        <dd>In many environments diagrams are used to explain a concept or
          transmit information efficiently. Where a user has a reduced ability
          to see the image (poor contrast vision and other conditions are as
          relevant here as a complete lack of vision), a description can enable
          that user to understand the information being presented</dd>
        <dd><em>Requires</em>: Structured Markup, Inline, Reuse, Simple Return</dd>
        <dt>Teaching Accessible Development</dt>
        <dd>In many environments producing content that is accessible to users
          regardless of disability is a legal and/or market requirement. </dd>
        <dd><em>Requires</em>: Maintenance, Backwards compatibility</dd>
        <dt>A self-describing artistic work</dt>
        <dd>For many pages the visual design of the page is an important part of
          the message it conveys to a fully-sighted user, but the author would
          like to convey as much of that design as possible to a user with low
          or no vision available. </dd>
        <dd><em>Requires</em>: No visual encumbrance, Structured Markup</dd>
        <dd><em>Helped by</em>: Reuse, Simple Return</dd>
        <dt>Referring to an existing description</dt>
        <dd>Many well-known images are already described by other sources. The
          copyright on those sources may not be compatible with re-publishing
          the description, but there is little value in making a new one. </dd>
        <dd><em>Requires</em>: Reuse, Structured Markup, Simple Return, Optional
          Consumption </dd>
        <dd><em>Helped by</em>: No Visual Encumbrance</dd>
        <dt>Linking to a description included within a page</dt>
        <dd>In some cases an image already has a description included within a
          page. Making the linkage explicit can provide further clarity for a
          user navigating the page who is not able to interpret the default
          layout, e.g. because they have forced a re-layout of the page
          elements, or because they do not see the default visual relationship
          between the element and its description.</dd>
        <dd>This practice also enables description to be provided for all users.</dd>
        <dd>By keeping the association clear the content maintainer can more
          easily check that the description and link are actually correct.</dd>
        <dd><em>Requires</em>: Inline, Simple Return, Structured Markup,
          Optional Consumption </dd>
        <dt>Localising descriptions</dt>
        <dd>When content is localised to multiple languages, it is important
          that metadata intended for human consumption, such as image
          descriptions, can be readily localised.</dd>
        <dd><em>Helped by</em>: Structured Markup, Reuse, Maintenance.</dd>

      <h1>Introduction</h1>
      <p>HTML 4 provided a <code>longdesc</code> attribute for the <code>img</code>
        element. This enabled a machine-discoverable description of an image to
        be linked to the image. This extension specification defines the same
        functionality for HTML5-based content.</p>
      <pre class="example"><code><br><br>&lt;!-- The description is somewhere on the same page as the image --&gt;
&lt;img src="http://example.com/graph1" alt="(Drinks are getting sweeter)" title="Figure One" <strong>longdesc="#graph1Explained"</strong>&gt;

&lt;!-- The description is a page on its own --&gt;
&lt;img src="figure1" alt="figure 1" <strong>longdesc="http://example.com/desc1"</strong>&gt;

&lt;!-- The description is one of several within an external page --&gt;
&lt;img src="ExampleImage" alt="example" <strong>longdesc="http://example.com/descs#item3"</strong>&gt;

&lt;!-- The description is included in a data: URI --&gt;

      <h2><span class="secno">2. </span>Use Cases and Requirements</h2>
      <p>There are many ways users can successfully interact with content even
        if they cannot see, or see well, images included in that content. The <code>alt</code>
        attribute is designed to ensure that for everyday work, a user has
        enough information to replace an image, and often this is more helpful
        than a detailed description of every image. The <code>longdesc</code>
        attribute is designed to complement this functionality, to meet the
        following use cases. </p>

      <dl>
        <dt>Identifying a well-known image</dt>
      </dl>
      <dl>
        <dd>There are many well-known images which are widely reproduced and
          well known. In some cases, such as "Mona Lisa", "Gerníka", Cubbin's
          "Lost", Leunig's "ramming the shears", the most effective way to refer
          identify an image to another person is by the creator, title, and
          similar information that would be found in a catalog. But different
          people know the images by different titles, and some images have no
          widely known titles. Identifying an image is often an important part
          of framing a discussion. Where the image itself cannot be seen, a
          description can often be used to offer easier recognition than the
          cataloging information, for example "Washington crossing some river,
          standing heroically in the boat, while soldiers do the hard work", or
          "the Da Vinci picture of the guy in a square and a circle".</dd>

        <dt>Describing a complex diagram</dt>
        <dd>In many environments diagrams are used to explain a concept or
          transmit information efficiently. Where a user has a reduced ability
          to see the image (poor contrast vision and other conditions are as
          relevant here as a complete lack of vision), a description can enable
          that user to understand the information being presented.</dd>

        <dd>For many pages the visual design of the page is an important part of

          user navigating the page who is not able to interpret the default
          layout, e.g. because they have forced a re-layout of the page
          elements, or because they do not see the default visual relationship
          between the element and its description.</dd>
        <dd>This practice also enables description to be provided for all users.</dd>

          <p>A common mistake in the past has been to use a description, instead
            of a URL that links to a description. Converting such values to
            data: URLs is a repair strategy for user agents that can help users
            to recover in cases where authors have made this mistake. </p>
          <p>It is usually helpful when the behaviour for finding, reading, and
            returning from a long description to the image described is a
            consistent experience.</p>

          specification of longdesc, to those who have implemented it in various
          kinds of software, and to many many people involved with the
          development of HTML5 (including but not limited to those who discussed
          "ISSUE-30" in the HTML Working Group, the Protocols and Formats
          Working Group, the W3C Advisory Board, and around countless dinner
          tables, coffee breaks, and elsewhere) for the ideas, discussions and
          contributions that led to the initial draft of this specification.
          With the exception of Laura Carlson, who did far more very valuable
          work than it took me to produce this specification, I haven't named
          them: the list might be larger than the content of the specification.</p>
        <p>For specific comments and suggestions that led to improvements over

        <p>Authors <em class="rfc2119">should</em> put descriptions within an
          element which is the target of a fragment link (e.g. <code>longdesc="example.html#description"</code>)
          if a description is only part of the target document. </p>
        <div class="note">
          <p><em>This section is informative</em></p>
          <p>Best practices for full descriptions of images are beyond the scope
            of this document, but there are many resources available.</p>
          <p>This document does not define the term "accessible" nor
            accessibility. For further guidance on making an accessible
            document, authors can consult e.g. [<a href="#bib-WCAG2">WCAG</a>].</p>
        </div>
        <h4 id="user-agents">3.0.3 User Agents</h4>
        <p>If the <code>longdesc</code> value is valid, User agents <em class="rfc2119">must</em>
          make the link available to all users through the regular user
          interface(s).&nbsp; </p>
        <p>If the <code>longdesc</code> value is valid, User agents <em class="rfc2119">must</em>
          expose the link to relevant APIs, especially accessibility-oriented
          APIs. </p>
        <p>User agents <em class="rfc2119">should</em> enable users to discover
          when images in a page contain a long description.</p>
        <div class="note">
          <p><em>This section is informative</em></p>
          <p>Complete documentation of best practices for implementation is
            beyond the scope of this document. These notes are offered to help
            minimise the impact of common mistakes.</p>
          <p>A common mistake in the past has been to use a description, instead
            of a URL that links to a description. Converting such values to
            data: URLs is a repair strategy for user agents that can help users
            to recover in cases where authors have made this mistake. </p>
          <p>It is usually helpful when the behaviour for finding, reading, and
            returning from a long description to the image described is a
            consistent experience.</p>
          <p>Further information on making user agents accessible can be found
            in [<a href="file:///Users/chaals/Documents/w3c/html-proposals/longdesc1/longdesc.html#bib-UAAG">UAAG</a>].</p>

        <h2><span class="secno">A. </span>Acknowledgements</h2>
        <p>Thanks to the HTML Working Group of the late 1990s for the original
          specification of longdesc, to those who have implemented it in various
          kinds of software, and to many many people involved with the
          development of HTML5 (including but not limited to those who discussed
          "ISSUE-30" in the HTML Working Group, the Protocols and Formats
          Working Group, the W3C Advisory Board, and around countless dinner
          tables, coffee breaks, and elsewhere) for the ideas, discussions and
          contributions that led to the initial draft of this specification.
          With the exception of Laura Carlson, who did far more very valuable
          work than it took me to produce this specification, I haven't named
          them: the list might be larger than the content of the specification.</p>
        <p>For specific comments and suggestions that led to improvements over
          successive drafts of this specification, thanks to the W3C's HTML
          Accessibility Task Force, the W3C Internationalization Working Group,
          and to Jonathan Avila, Robin Berjon, James Craig, Steve Faulkner, John
          Foliot, Geoff Freed, Richard Ishida, Anne van Kesteren, David
          MacDonald, Chris Mills, Jay Munro, Devarshi Pant, Silvia Pfeiffer,
          Leif Halvard Silli, Mathew Turvey and Boris Zbarsky. Any errors are
          despite, not as a result of, their efforts.</p>
