ARIA landmark roles provide an effective way to identify the design and structure of portal and application pages. By classifying and labeling sections of a page, these roles allow structural information conveyed visually by the layout to be represented programmatically. Screen readers use landmark roles to allow keyboard navigation in important sections of a page. Landmark regions can also be used as destinations for "skip links" and by browser extensions for improved keyboard navigation.
The following image represents a sample landmark structure for a portal or application page.
