| Definition |
svg element must define an appropriate ARIA role that describes it's purpose. |
| Purpose |
- An
svg element has the default role of graphics-document. The graphics-* roles are not well implemented in browsers or assistive technologies at this time, so the role needs to be overrided by the author with a role that appropriately identifies the purpose of the svg element.

| Techniques |
- Add
role="img" attribute if the svg element is a descriptive image (most likely). When the img role is used the svg title element can be used to provide a text equivalent.
- Add
role="none" attribute if the svg element is a decorative image.
- Add an appropriate ARIA role if the
svg is interactive or can be represented by some other document role. For example a table roles if the svg content represents tabular data.
