Presentation Transcript

  1. High resolution image toolkits Toolkits and Case studies Stu Baker M. Claire Stewart Northwestern University Library

  2. Overview • Introduction to technology • Our motivation • Case studies • The evaluation • The outcome

  3. What are these “image toolkits?” • Single source files • for all derivatives • for multiple uses • Interactivity features • Zoom, Pan, Rotate • Regions of interest • Layers • Image correction

  4. Northwestern’s requirement • Not necessarily tied into an image database • The primary focus may NOT be for • organization • description

  5. Northwestern’s search for an image toolkit • Specific projects • Sheer volume • Multiple derivatives • Future needs • Infrastructure

  6. Hogarth: badly needed interactivity and high resolution http://digital.library.northwestern.edu/hogarth

  7. WWII posters: fulfillment issues http://digital.library.northwestern.edu/wwii

  8. Vesalius project http://vesalius.northwestern.edu/

  9. Sophisticated image functions

  10. London Map: ad hoc use for university courses

  11. London Map: ad hoc use for university courses

  12. Winterton: integration with technical metadata

  13. Hi-res image projects at other NMC institutions TrueSpectra at The Ohio State University

  14. Hi-res image projects at other NMC institutions Zoomify at Cleveland Museum of Art

  15. Evaluating toolkits • The Vendors • The Process • The Decision • The Outcome

  16. The Products we evaluated • Infinite Imaging Server (formerly TrueSpectra)http://www.scene7.com/platform/infinite_imaging_server.asp • EyeSpyhttp://www.axstech.com/html/products/eyespy • Awarehttp://www.aware.com/products/compression/jpeg2000_lgimg.html

  17. The process • Partners • Requirements building • Focus groups • Other RFIs • No formal testing of final candidates • Numerous discussions with peer institutions

  18. Overall Cost System/Application Framework Backend Database Image Processing tools Publishing Tools Support and Documentation Interoperability and Integration Security System Admin Tools Development Environment Metadata Support Process - Investigation

  19. Prioritized Criteria for Decision • Flexible development framework • Image delivery system utilizing a single source file • A company committed to the library and academic community. • Product in use at peer institutions with similar development environments. • Overall Cost – initial and recurring

  20. The Outcome • Terms with “Aware” were reached • Software Agreements • Software escrow provisions • Indemnification from lawsuits relating to the underlying technology • Plan to implement on test system this summer, into production by Fall

  21. Nirvana: integration and penetration Media Manager proposed data flow, OSU

  22. Nirvana Media Link Builder visual prototype, Northwestern
