Re: [Dspace-tech] Online Document Viewer Functionality
Would it seem ungrateful if I suggest that the first thing we need is some more descriptive terms? Because to me, document viewer is so generic as to be nearly meaningless. o xdvi is a document viewer o mplayer is a document viewer o GPhoto is a document viewer o Audacious is a document viewer o 'info' and 'man' are document viewers o 'less' is a document viewer What kind(s) of documents are we talking about here? What specific needs do we identify which are unmet by existing helper applications? Specific needs mentioned so far: o PDF documents are capable of random access (when linearized), but Adobe Reader assumes you will want the whole document eventually, whereas small references to a large document would be best served if it could be told to only fetch pages on demand. o Maps are big but screens are small. There is a need to express the idea that an image should be shown pixel-for-pixel regardless of size, under a scrollable viewport. Sometimes it's most appropriate to view photographs at full resolution, too. Others? -- Mark H.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Online Document Viewer Functionality
helix84, Fedora Commons is more of a flexible repository architecture than an out-of-the-box repository application. As such, it doesn't come with a standard user interface solution. That's the main difference between a system like DSpace and one like Fedora. However, there are several third-party user interfaces that have been built for Fedora Commons. It's possible one of these does come with a PDF reader (I'm actually not sure, but I could ask around). A full list of all End User applications that work on Fedora is here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FEDORACREATE/Complete+Solutions So, we'd need to determine what end user application those sites are using that you are talking about. Then we could investigate what PDF reader they may be using, and whether it is available as an open source tool. - Tim On 1/11/2011 10:07 AM, helix84 wrote: I looked at several Fedora Commons instances and some have a nice PDF reader displaying individual pages and navigation, which also has a zoom option.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Online Document Viewer Functionality
But that all sounds like PDF so far. PDFs need to be linearized to support random page access, but that's easy and can be done with free tools. Unfortunately, linearized PDFs do not actually facilitate true random access. The linearized format puts the index and all objects required to produce the first page at the beginning of the file. The entire file continues to download, page-by-page, while the user can make use of any content that has already been downloaded. It's a better user experience, for sure, but not ideal. If, for example, you want to view the last page of a file, you will have to wait for the entire file to download. For a PDF of a book, consisting of hundreds (or thousands) of scanned images, this can represent a significant investment, in both user time, and bandwidth. I feel that this stuff belongs in the browser. I think you're right, however, you will continue to run into this general problem: the user will be challenged by the size of the object you are attempting to give them. As it increases, usability decreases. There are ways around this, currently: you either convert the objects to a format that can be streamed, or you break the objects into smaller parts (the traditional page turning approach employed by digital libraries). --Hardy -Original Message- From: Mark H.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Online Document Viewer Functionality
Anil and the community, It is actually untrue that there are no online document viewing solutions for DSpace. @mire provides a very affordable addon for DSpace that supplies the functionality you are seeking. The Document Streaming module provides customizations for the DSpace XMLUI that integrate it with the online document viewing service, Scribd (http://scribd.com). It uses the same iPaper and flash approach discussed earlier in the thread. DSpace content is pushed to Scribd and a javascript viewing interface is linked to in the DSpace Item View. It is quite effective for streaming access to larger documents and for providing controlled access to DRM restricted content. It comes with installation assistance by the @mire team and 1 year technical support. View more details about this addon: http://atmire.com/docstreaming.php See it in action: https://atmire.com/labs/pdfpreview/bitstream/handle/123456789/7653/kerstA6_final_4blz.pdf?sequence=1 Feel free to contact myself or Bram Luyten (b...@mire.be) for further details.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Online Document Viewer Functionality
Hi Anil, We run DSpace 1.6.2 at the Brasiliana Digital Library ( http://www.brasiliana.usp.br/bbd). Having mainly PDF documents (and some JPEG images), we sought out some way to allow the user to view the documents without having to download them, specially because our PDFs can get quite large (they are scanned historical books). We have implemented a set of solutions in order to get a PDF viewer and an images viewer in our XMLUI theme, which in turn we have customized rather deeply. We used the Adore Djatokahttp://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/djatoka/index.phpimage server with modifications to also serve normal JPEG files via JAI and PDF files via ImageMagick (originally, Djatoka only serves JPEG2000 and TIFF files). At the client side we used two javascript viewers, one for PDFs and another for images. For PDFs we customized the Internet Archive BookReaderhttp://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader, and for images we customized the Djatoka version of the IIPImage viewerhttp://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/djatoka/index.php?title=Viewers . Besides modifying a large part of the XMLUI module, in which we also included the Discovery module (since we were using DSpace 1.6.2), we also had to modify a small part of the DSpace core in order to allow communication between Djatoka and DSpace (essentially, to make it possible to get the files' paths at the assetstore). There are, of course, still lots of improvements to be done, but we are planning on packing everything and making it available, so that more people could try it and maybe help fixing and improving it. To see it in action: - For PDFs: http://www.brasiliana.usp.br/bbd/handle/1918/00624510; - For images: http://www.brasiliana.usp.br/bbd/handle/1918/624510002. Things may get slow sometimes, and the interface is only available in Portuguese right now. But you should be able to get most of the ideas behind the system. If you happen to get interested, we can continue communication and try out some collaboration. That would be great.
