The reservation system in question should be the centralized system that organizes and streamlines the process of reserving rooms and space within the reporting entity. This may be through a web reservation site or application. One example is BookIt. If the reporting entity has more than one reservation system used enterprise-wide, select the most widely used to answer this question.</p> <p>To estimate a percentage of conformance, follow the formula and steps below:</p> <p>Percentage of conformance =[(Standards and Criteria that Pass or Do Not Apply) / (Total Number of Applicable Standards and Criteria )] x 100</p> <ol> <li>Determine how many Section 508 standards or WCAG 2.0 AA criteria apply to the ICT: <ul> <li>For web content, there are 41 requirements (38 WCAG 2.0 AA Success Criteria and three Section 508 provisions related to media players).</li> <li>For software, there are 57 requirements (34 WCAG 2.0 AA Success Criteria (using E207.2.1 Word Substitution when Applying WCAG to Non-Web Software) and 23 Section 508 provisions).</li> <li>For hardware, there are 61 Section 508 provisions.</li> <li>For electronic documents, there are 34 WCAG 2.0 AA Success Criteria (using E205.4.1 Word Substitution when Applying WCAG to Non-Web Documents).</li> </ul> </li> <li>Determine how many Section 508 standards or WCAG 2.0 AA Success Criteria Pass or Do Not Apply.
