======  ATK/AT-SPI SIG Overview ======

The **Accessible Tool Kit/Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface (ATK/AT-SPI)** is based on the accessibility tool kit (ATK) originally developed by Sun Microsystems for the GNOME platform.**ATK/AT-SPI** is, as was the intention from the beginning, a [[http://accessibility.linux-foundation.org/a11yweb/forms/soi.php|platform-neutral framework]] for providing bi-directional communication between assistive technologies (AT) and applications. Through the use of **AT-SPI**, an application's components' state, property and role information is communicated directly to the end user's AT, thereby facilitating bi-directional (input and output) user interactivity with, and control over, an application or compound document instance.
