Abstract
This paper extends previous studies [10, 12, 13] that investigated
the accessibility of different web sites of specific content and context to an
analysis of the whole web of a specific country (Cyprus). To our knowledge
no previous study has analyzed such a big number of web sites for
accessibility in a single study. More specifically this paper evaluates the
compliance of 30,000 Cyprus related websites spidered by Arachne
(http://search.kypros.org ) search engine. The 30,000 Cyprus related websites
where evaluated for accessibility using the Bobby (http://www.cast.org/bobby/)
accessibility tool. Statistical analysis and comparison of the accessibility
ratings for the different main domain categories (commercial, academic,
governmental, and organizational) of the Cypriot web are also provided.
