[MCN-L] Djatoka client comments?
Hi all, Any djatoka users out there? We're on the brink of deciding between two candidates as open-source AJAX client implementations for working with navigable images served with resolution on demand by djatoka server and a JPEG 2000 back-end. The two candidates are Djatoka OpenURL, based on OpenLayers, and Djatoka Viewer, based on IIPMooViewer. We have test pages up and running with both, and based on lots of search-engine-findable resources, both seem like good candidates based on functional needs and general factors; so I thought I'd ask here if anyone has actually been using either or both. Any hands-on tales of use cases or applications in museum contexts that might suggest one of these tools would be preferable to the other? thanks, Rob -- Rob Lancefield (rlancefield [at] wesleyan [dot] edu) Manager of Museum Information Services / Registrar of Collections Davison Art Center, Wesleyan University 301 High Street, Middletown CT 06459-0487 USA 860.685.2965 // President, Museum Computer Network (MCN), http://www.mcn.edu The membership organization for museum information professionals

Hi Rob, I have used both. I prefer the viewer based on IIPMooViewer purely for aesthetic reasons. I like the thumbnail in the corner with the small box that shows one's zoomed position on the current layer and one's ability to navigate with that box. There's also the button to export whatever is in the viewer to a downloadable jpg, so that's potentially useful to patrons.

Thanks, Ethan. That's pretty much where I've been headed so far, too, in what seems otherwise to be close to a toss-up; the current-view outline box on small reference image is a big plus. Any other comments out there? Rob On 9/17/2009 12:21 PM, Ethan Gruber wrote: Hi Rob, I have used both. I prefer the viewer based on IIPMooViewer purely for aesthetic reasons.
