[MCN-L] CAL SIG: Clifford LYNCH: Authorship and Identity - Berkeley
local to bay area. for those interested. FRIDAY AFTERNOON SEMINAR ON INFORMATION ACCESS. South Hall 107, Fridays 3-5 pm http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i296a-1/f07/schedule.html Everyone interested is welcome! Sep 7: Clifford LYNCH: Authorship and Identity. In this talk, I'll look at various developments in scholarly communication (citation indexing, web statistics gathering, preprint archives); in identity management; and in name authority control. My fundamental thesis will be that there is an opportunity to begin to deliberately and systematically relate and potentially converge developments in these different areas; I'll lead a discussion of the issues and actors that might be involved in doing so.

[MCN-L] Pan Zoom Server
Joanna, We are looking (with National Gallery in London who is already way ahead of us) at IIPImage Server along with java scripts to make it do interesting things beyond simply viewing images. See: http://sourceforge.net/projects/iipimage and a java browser demo: http://leo.ecs.soton.ac.uk/data/archive/kirk/iipdemos/jiipdemozepler.html We are just at the beginning of this but hope to have something that might be available to the larger community in the near future. If you're interested let me know. ken Champagne, Joanna J-Champagne at NGA.GOV 09/05/07 11:22 AM Hello, How are you?

[MCN-L] digital preservation formats for audio, video
I'm posting the same thing to digi-pres, so apologies to those on both who get two of the same question. We are in the serious part of planning a media archive (oral histories) that will include interviews, some in audio, some in video formats. 1. I originally assumed that we would store the audio in aiff or wav, per the IASA Guidelines on the Production and Preservation of Digtial Audio Objects book, with mp3 used for presentation copies. Now I here that mp3 is being used by many archives as their preservation format. A lossy preservation format? This makes no sense to me, but if the world has changed, I'm ready to listen. What do you use? If it is mp3, why? 2. For video, I have no clear idea what the preservation format should be--dvi, I have been assuming, since in our case, these are all coming off DV tape? (Don't talk to me about disk space requirements!) We use mpg for presentation copies. Again, are others doing differently? What works for you? Why? 3. I am leaning heavily towards storing the objects and metadata in FEDORA (possibly using Fez until something simpler becomes available--we are stumbling reasonably forward in a first configuration attempt). Given one basic, albeit complex, content model, are there people with similar experience who are happy with a different toolset? Other than the general desire to keep costs down, the requirement that the repository be accessible over the web, and to be able to migrate when/if we decide on a different repository I feel quite agnostic. If you are using a tool that really works for you doing similar work, what is it? What makes it work so well for you? Thanks for any and all discussion and feedback, ari
[MCN-L] Pan Zoom Server
Do we know that users like zooming? Or if certain particular groups of users like zooming? I often find zooming irritating. I would mostly rather have a single, somewhat larger full view of an image than to zoom in on just a piece of the image, even if the detail is not as good. Zooming takes more clicks drags, and then I end up with something where I can't really see the work. I just wonder sometimes if the effort we put into zoom is worthwhile. Should we just make the images bigger? I know that ours could be a lot bigger before it's possible to get any financial gain by stealing them.

[MCN-L] Pan Zoom Server
Probably got a point Matt, in any event bigger images is great idea. We are looking at IIPImage at the moment not for general consumption but for easy sharing among professionals of very high resolution images that result as part of the documentation of conservation treatment, investigation and survey. That will likely include zooming and panning but also things like mapping and viewing highly magnified cross sections of paint samples, overlay comparison of x-radiographs and natural light images, and the like.
