A mingle-mangle of Ideas

• Improve presentation of single image with info on:
  • number of views of this pic
• Create world map to visualize geotagged images
• New automated collection 'The commons' here are all free pics
  • Or ability to filter all commons in the image list
• Click on person metadata triggers search of all pics were this person is in
• integration of ISAN (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISAN) (for audiovisual material)
• What can we get automatically from techn. metadata of image, do we want to auto fill them in the desc. metadata?
  • creation date
  • author
  • copyright
  • title
  • comment ...
• Is there a standard for descriptive metadata for media files?
• Where do we get the metadata
  • From DB (directly from db or from imeji solution) - no set definition! (implicit)
  • From repository (would mean to first implement escidoc data stream)
  • static or dynamic?
• Which metadata formats do we want to expose via oai
  • dc (mandatory)
  • custom (how do we generate dc from here)
  • technical format (see above)
  • rdf
  • Jhove ?
• Improve advanced search, e.g.: https://www.google.de/advanced_image_search?hl=de&biw=1920&bih=970&q=sun&tbm=isch
