Universal Access: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:12, 18 February 2021

Universal access refers to the concept that top-level domain names are accessible globally through any internet browser, server, email client, and computer program. ^[1]

When original domain names were implemented in the Domain Name System of the Internet, such as .com, .edu, .gov, .mil, .org, .net, and .arpa, non-Latin alphabet language communities were limited to easily access the Internet. Domain names at this time were exclusively expressed in languages based on US- ASCII specific script. The demand for universal access became imminent amidst the creating of IDNs.^[2]

Timeline to Achieving Universal Access[edit | edit source]

In October 2009, the Internationalized Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Board approved for IDN country-code top-level domain names (ccTLDs). ^[3]

In June 2011, ICANN announced their new gTLD Program, allowing new gTLDs to be added to the root zone. ^[4]

In August 2014, Google announced their implementation of IDN email addresses. Languages based on non-Latin characters and symbols (such as Chinese, Cyrillic and Arabic) are able to input their own written language into an email address on Gmail. ^[5]

-===全球访问性===
-'''全球访问性'''指的是[[top level domain|顶级域]]域名在全球范围内都能够通过互联网浏览器、服务器、电子邮件客户端和计算机程序进行访问的理念。<ref>http://rishida.net/blog/?p=1083</ref>
-当原始域名，比如 [[.com]]、 [[.edu]]、 [[.gov]]、 [[.mil]]、 [[.org]]、[[.net]]和 [[.arpa]]在[[Internet|互联网]] [[Domain Name System|域名系统]]中应用时，非拉丁字母语系群体访问互联网存在困难。这一时期的域名完全由美国信息交换标准代码（US- ASCII）这类特定字符进行表示。随着[[IDN|国际化域名]]（IDN）的出现，人们对全球访问性的需求变得迫切起来。<ref>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140519_universal_acceptance_of_all_tlds_now/</ref>
-==实现全球访问性的时间表==
-年10月，互联网名称与数字地址分配机构（ICANN）董事会批准了国家代码顶级域（ccTLD）类的国际化域名。<ref>https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/idn-2012-02-25-en</ref>
-年6月， [[ICANN]]宣布推出其[[New gTLD Program|新通用顶级域项目]]，允许将新[[gTLD|通用顶级域]]添加到[[root zone|根区域]]中。<ref>http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/program</ref>
-年8月，[[Google|谷歌]] 宣布其将采用[[IDN email|国际化域名电子邮件]]地址。使用由非拉丁字符和符号组成的语言（比如中文、斯拉夫字母和阿拉伯语）的人们能够将其母语书面语用在[[Gmail]]的电子邮件地址中。<ref>http://internetregistry.info/non-english-idn-email-addresses-finally-working-2/</ref>
