Accessibility statement
Barrierefreiheitserklärung
The Österreichische Mediathek, an organizational unit of the Technisches Museum Wien, strives to maintain its website in accordance with the Web Accessibility Act (WZG) as amended to implement Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 26, 2016, on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies (OJ L 327, 2.12.2016, p. 1).
This accessibility statement applies to the website www.mediathek.at.
Status of compliance with the requirements, non-accessible content
This website is partially compliant with conformance level AA of the “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – WCAG 2.1”.
According to WZG §2 (3) b), f) and j), the accessibility requirements for www.mediathek.at do not apply.
WZG §2 (3) b) applies to time-based media.
In addition, the Technisches Museum Wien with Österreichische Mediathek is not permitted to generate transcripts or subtitles for numerous time-based media and offer them to the public for copyright reasons.
There is a lack of automated and cost-effective solutions that could easily extract text from manuscripts or other pieces from cultural heritage collections and convert it into content that is compatible with accessibility requirements.
Compliance with the accessibility requirements under Section 3 of the WZG would result in a disproportionate burden on the legal entity.
This declaration was created on September 21, 2024.
