- 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.
- Find Images
- 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.
