Functional Prototype for R2

R3

Going productive!

• User Management (Basic, via Admin solution)
• Basic statistics
• Extraction (via jhove) and saving (in a separate metadata file) of technical metadata
• Display of technical MD ("low effort", the institute does not need this functionality)
• Revision of Help (context-sensitive help, texts)
• New Home Page for Faces (no special Faces logo, only the MPIB logo)
• Integration of a blog for the creation of a news boy on the start page
• Persistent Identifier (PID)

Functional Prototype for R3

R3.5

• Sharing of albums with other users (incl. user privileges, tracking of changes)
• Note pad for albums
• Copy album content
• Merge album content
• Integration of Digilib

Expectations

Expectations MPI B

• Faces will be a service based on the eSciDoc infrastructure for publishing digital images (incl. a user management for all users who work with faces).
• The institute’s and department-specific corporate design will be visible in the web design of the solution.
• The content of the collection Faces will be digitally preserved and persistently identified.
• The data from the currently available Faces database will be integrated.
• The data of the collection Faces is not published as open access, except for the data of the six predefined persons who gave explicit publishing permission.
• Faces will be a closed collection, so the import of further images is not possible once the application is running.
• The application will support the future integration of further attributes (e.g from the normstudy).
• Once the application is running, it can't be changed without the permission of the institute.
• The MPI has fully administrator rights for the application.

Expectations MPDL

• Faces will be delivered as an open source self-contained web application, which can be installed and run with predefined standard set-up.
• The MPDL will use the FACEs solution as showcase for demonstrating possible research data scenarios based on the infrastructure. The institute's staff will support respective outreach activities by reporting on their experiences.
• The MPDL has access to the root account of the application for administration purposes.
• The data of Faces will be hosted at the MPDL (and/or its partners like the GWDG), who are also responsible for the server administration. Details will be defined in a service level agreement.
