ABSTRACT
This study presents the design and the development of a semantic model to transcode Internet websites, in order to improve accessibility for visually impaired people. Accessibility standards, semantic web concepts and site adaptation are the main points of this proposal. As a strategy of scope definition and model validation, this work analyses two experimental scenarios: one in the context of Brazilian semiarid region and another in adaptation of online social networks interactions. The main goal is to make Internet navigation a more effective experience for visually impaired people. The results of the experiments are pages enriched with informations adapted for blind people.
