OpenACR is a digital native Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). The initial development is based on Section 508 requirements. The main goal is to be able to compare the accessibility claims of digital products and services. A structured, self-validated, machine-readable documentation will provide for this.
This could be incorporated into comparison tool so that procurement officers could easily be able to see if all of the client requirements have been met. If a procurement officer is evaluating a web project, there should be no need to check for the software/hardware components of 508.
Would be really powerful to be able to take a machine-readable export of the requirements defined as part of DART: https://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/oast/DART/
This has been transitioned to the GSA under Section508.gov now: https://www.section508.gov/buy/accessibility-requirements-tool/
