Template:Imeji


This page gives a short overview of all imeji functionalities.
The detailed functional specifications can be found here.

Standard User Workflow[edit]

Upload content

  1. Creation of a collection with collection metadata
  2. Assignment of a metadata profile to the collection
    • via using an already defined profile as template
    • via creating a new profile
  3. Upload of pictures to the collection
    • via selecting one or several single picture
    • via selecting one zip file [Not implemented yet]
    • via selecting one folder
  4. Assignment of metadata to pictures
    • Automatic extraction and assignment of technical metadata
    • Defining of a picture set for batch editing of descriptive metadata via filtering and sorting mechanism
    • Editing of the descriptive metadata of a single picture
  5. Releasing the whole collection (make it visible for all users)

Collection Management[edit]

Imeji Collection klein.jpg
  1. Definition
    • A collection has exactly one metadata profile
    • Every metadata profile is related to at least one collection (that means neither a collection nor a metadata profile can exist without the other)
    • A collection has exactly one creator, but can have multipleeditors (people who are allowed to assign metadata values and upload pictures) --> the creator automatically has the editor role for his collection
    • A collection has one entry point
  2. Create/edit collection (edit the metadata values)
  3. Delete/release/discard collection
  4. Display of collections
    • List of all published collections together with the most relevant metadata values

Metadata Profile Management[edit]

Imeji Metadata Profile klein.jpg
  1. Definition
    • A metadata profile always belongs to a collection
    • The user either can create a new metadata profile for a new collection or use an already available one as template.
  2. Edit metadata profile
    • Each metadata consists of
      • one type (a list with several types will be provided, e.g. date, geonames, string, integer, cone-person, tag)
      • one or several labels
      • a language tag for each label
      • a menu to select cardinality (unique, multiple)
      • (optional) the possibility to define a small controlled vocabulary based on free text fields (strings)
  3. Version control will not be provided for the MD profile
    • Therefore a MD profile will be unique for each collection, no possibility to use it for more than one collection
    • MD profiles do not have an own release workflow as they are always connected to one collection and its workflow

Upload[edit]

Imeji Upload klein 2.jpg
  1. Picture upload
    1. Web upload (upload images for one collection)
      • via selecting one or several pictures
      • Upload all images dragged and dropped into imeji Desktop box (a file scan during upload will not be possible for this sort of upload)
        • upload pictures to the local imeji DropBox and later to imeji repository
        • inform the user when the images are uploaded imeji repository together with a report (will be within the ingest workspace)
  2. Create thumbnails and web resolution and upload all 3 resolutions
  3. Extract technical metadata (IPTC [1])
    • Technical md will be displayed only in xml (via link)
    • Define pattern via analyzing one selected filename: how are the different md values in the filename separated (e.g. via ",")
    • Define parsing: which value should be mapped to which metadata from the schema
    • Update items with populated md-record

Metadata Editing[edit]

Imeji Edit Metadata klein.jpg
  1. Batch editing (only possible for pictures within the same collection)
    • Select images
    • Edit metadata values

        • should only be added to the pictures when the value there is still empty
        • should overwrite all already available values
        • add a new value to all images (only possible when the selected metadata element can occur multiple)
