<h2>Accessible Name and Description Computation</h2>
<p>The terms <a data-cite="accname-1.2/#dfn-accessible-name">accessible name</a> and <a data-cite="accname-1.2/#dfn-accessible-description">accessible description</a> are properties provided in all <a class="termref">accessibility APIs</a>. The name of the properties may differ across APIs but they serve the same function: as a container for a short (name) or longer (description) string of text.</p>
<p>The <a href="#mapping_additional_nd_te" class="accname">text alternative computation</a> is used to generate both the <a data-cite="accname-1.2/#dfn-accessible-name">accessible name</a> and <a data-cite="accname-1.2/#dfn-accessible-description">accessible description</a>. There are different rules provided for several different types of <a class="termref" data-lt="element">elements</a>, <a class="termref" data-lt="node">nodes</a>, and combinations of markup.</p>
<p class="note">
User Agents can inform assistive technology if an element's accessible name, description, or both dynamically updates per the specified
<a data-cite="core-aam-1.2/#event-aria-label">name change event mappings</a> and <a data-cite="core-aam-1.2/#event-aria-describedby">description change event mappings</a>.
