Faces Diamonds

MPDL,NIMS

'''Note: This page is the temporary place for informations about FACES used for Diamonds pictures. We should find a generic name for FACES like solutions, where we can organize the Colab pages.'''

General Idea
FACES will be reused to publish Diamonds pictures from NIMS. Therefor the FACES solution will be improved to deal with generic metadata.
 * Four albums
 * The four different sets of pictures will be handled as 4 albums
 * Browse page will show all pictures of all this four albums
 * Homepage will mention (and link) to all this four albums
 * Visibility
 * All pictures are public visible
 * All released albums will be visible for all users
 * Log in is only needed when working on own albums
 * Diamonds will have no connection to the FACES instance, they will have their own url (something like diamonds.mpdl.mpg.de)
 * Metadata
 * Short time solution: metadata that has no value will be blind out in sorting
 * Long term solution: ingestion should have a validation schema that won't allow metadata field with no values
