VPAT / 508 compliance information?

[Bill Yosmanovich]

Would anyone happen to know if SOLR has a VPAT or where I could obtain any 
Section 508 compliance information?

Thanks!

Solr is not designed for direct customer use, so a VPAT is not needed. Each 
implementation builds their own end user search UI. That UI needs an evaluation.

When I did the evaluation for Ultraseek Server, we exempted the entire admin UI 
using the Section 508 “back office” exception.

<https://www.section508.gov/content/glossary#BackOffice_Exception>

At the time, Ultraseek was the only enterprise search engine with an 
evaluation. We made a lot of sales in the quarter when departments were 
required to report to the President on their accessibility.

To be clear, I’m not making jokes about accessibility. Our oldest son is 
disabled, and I take it very seriously.

I'm sure someone will correct me if i am wrong but SOLR is data layer device so 
508 compliance would have to be assured by the presentation layer device. 

Unless your talking about 508 compliance for the admin webapp.
