Re: [WSG] long description and its implementation

[Christian Snodgrass]

If that is the case, you could just use simple links and have a mention 
about clicking on the artwork to read an in-depth description.

    If these links are for screen-reader users, then why not hiding
    them in visual browsers?
    imho, many sighted users will be confused by your long description
    pages, I believe most users won't understand their purpose.
    Unless of course they do more than describing the image. For
    example, in the case these images are not only described, but
    *interpreted* (for example by the artist explaining his work,
    symbolic, etc).
    If it is the latter, then the description is for all users.
