Other Updates

  • WebFeat: Rick's Gateway Solution!
    • Rick has developed a way to create a single index for all Luna collections which can then be searched
      by Webfeat.  This should signficantly speed up the search process, as instead of hitting nine separate
      databases, Webfeat need only hit one. 
    • Still questions as to whether Find Images will be maintained over the long-term.
  • Outsourcing to Luna
    • Gale will document (on VRWG wiki) scanning requirements should we choose to outsource derivative processing
      to Luna (avoiding problems encountered with KVRF collection).
  • IPTC metadata
    • A number of institutions are now requesting that Luna maintain metadata embedded in images.  Rick
      is investigating options for implementing IPTC embedded metadata into our master and derivative image files.
      Rick will report back to the group with his findings at our next quarterly meeting.
  • Luna 6.0
    • Luna plans to do away with java client version in 6.0.  Also promising collection index for searching. 
    • Strong possibility that Cornell with be a beta test site for new Luna server this fall.  Surinder is working with
      Luna to move collections to this new server.
