Re: [CODE4LIB] web-based ocr

2013-03-12 Thread Richard Sarvas
Something like this is on my to do list for our future Fedora Commons deployment here at UConn. I was considering wrapping a SOAP interface around something like the Perl Image::OCR::Tesseract module and adding it to our ingest pipeline unless someone can recommend a better OCR application.

2013-12-19 Thread Richard Sarvas
I did some experimentation wrapping the Perl Image::ExifTool module (along with Image::OCR::Tesseract) in some code that exposed it as a SOAP service for use in a Fedora Commons ingest service. It seemed to work well enough for bulk file processing in testing, though the approach of a custom

2014-01-29 Thread Richard Sarvas
What about using some of the open source WSO2 products to mimic the same functionality as EZProxy? This sounds like a task that Enterprise Service Bus combined (ESB) with Identity Server (IS) could do. Most of their products are some version of an Apache project or other wrapped up in a common
