Serious: This issue results in serious barriers for people with disabilities, and will partially prevent them from accessing fundamental features or content. People relying on assistive technologies will experience significant frustration as a result. Issues falling under this category are major problems, and remediation should be a priority.

Deque Analysis Summary

Item / Entity homepages have a total of 4 serious issues (not including color contrast which are handled in other tickets). These have been grouped into one ticket because they are similar issues on both pages.

1. (ID 470327) "Purpose of the link is not clear in context." on the "Show 4 more" and "Hide last 4" links which appear in long lists of Entity relationships (especially on Person Entity pages like https://demo.dspace.org/entities/person/5a3f7c7a-d3df-419c-b8a2-f00ede62c60a).
   • Fix by one of the following: (1) Provide unique link text that conveys the purpose of each link. OR (2) Ensure that the link text PLUS its programmatic context conveys the purpose of the link. (e.g. using "aria-label" to provide more details). See also https://dequeuniversity.com/class/semantic-structure2/links/link-text
2. (ID 471043) ~~"Content is lost at 320px width" on the Item URI/Handle ("URI" field in display) when the link is long, e.g. https://demo.dspace.org/entities/publication/4e203020-8fd6-406a-addc-f4f08365b662~~
   • ~~Fix by ensuring the link also wraps/resizes for smaller views of 320px~~
   • NO LONGER REPRODUCIBLE in 7.6.1. Unsure of when this was fixed.
