Abstract
There is an affluence of standards (de jure standards as well as de facto standards in the fields covered by eAccessibility and eInclusion) – not to mention legal regulations and guidelines of all sorts. The awareness of the need and importance of standards is comparatively low, because (a) standards often have to be purchased and (b) the information on existing standards is not available in user-friendly form. This paper outlines difficulties and possible solutions concerning the application of pertinent standards from the point of view of the EU project IN LIFE. It further analyses gaps with respect to ICT-supported H-H communication as well as H-M communication, which is an important aspect under the perspective of user empowerment and autonomy.
