ARIA Roles

ARIA roles are labels added to elements on a web page to tell assistive technologies, such as screen readers, what kind of element something is and what it does. They are part of a W3C specification called Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA), which helps convey meaning that visual layout alone cannot communicate. For example, a role can identify a section of a page as navigation or mark content as a definition of a term.
