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

Upload content

Creation of a collection with collection metadata
Assignment of a metadata profile to the collection
- via using an already defined profile as template
- via creating a new profile
Upload of pictures to the collection
- via selecting one or several single picture
- via selecting one folder
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
Releasing the whole collection (make it visible for all users)

Definition
- A collection has exactly one metadata profile
- A collection has exactly one creator, but can have multiple editors (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
Create/edit collection (edit the metadata values)
Delete/release/discard collection
Display of collections
- List of all published collections together with the most relevant metadata values

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.
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)
  - 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)
  - The order of metadata statements can easily be changed with drag&drop
Version control will not be provided for the metadata profile
- Therefore a metadata profile will be unique for each collection, no possibility to use it for more than one collection
- metadata profiles do not have an own release work flow as they inherit the collections work flow
