Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.0 - October 2017

Name of Product:

Oracle WebCenter Sites updated3 12.2.1.3.0

Product Description:

WebCenter Sites is used to create websites e.g. oracle.com. At an abstract level - WebCenter Sites product provides two things: 1. A content management framework and a dynamic rendering / caching mechanism that clients use to create their website. 2. A Contributor User Interface (UI) that will provide the content management functionality. On top of this, clients can code Java Server Pages (JSPs) to customize their website (we provide Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to access content from WebCenter Sites and use the underlying rendering/caching mechanism). The markup required for making the final website accessible is the client's responsibility.
