New Zealand Government Web Standards

Recommendation 16.1.4 Provide information about document collections

New standards released

The New Zealand Web Standards 2.0 were released in March 2009 and replace the previous version, the New Zealand Government Web Standards 1.0 (below).  See Meeting the standards for more information.

The Recommendation

Recommendation 16.1.4 Provide information about document collections

Provide information about document collections (i.e. documents comprising multiple pages).

This recommendation covers the W3C WAI checkpoint 13.9 for NZ government agencies.

Rationale for this recommendation

Primarily for facilitating reading of one or more documents off-line. A coherent “package” of documents with adequate information about the content of the package (or collection) assists the user in choosing whether to download.
