8.1. Associate a detailed description with rich content (charts, maps, Flash animations, etc.)

Sometimes, certain rich content convey so much information that it is necessary to provide a detailed description as well. This is often the case, for example, with charts and informative animations.

In these circumstances, a text description must be drafted. This must convey the same or equivalent information as that conveyed by the complex rich content. It must be available either on the same page, or on another page via a link available near rich content.

As the calendar above is a Flash animation that conveys complex information, a link, with the text “Calendar in text format”, is provided to display a detailed description of this rich content.
