Digital Library Implementation, Low-Resolution Image Content Model

Digital Library Implementation Home > Content Models

Input Master

Low resolution JPEG or TIFF images that do not meet the UVa Library 400 or 600 ppi 24-bit color or 8-bit grayscale uncompressed TIFF image standard

Datastreams

  • Static 24-bit color or 8-bit grayscale JPEG preview, 120x120 pixels constrained
  • Static 24-bit color or 8-bit grayscale JPEG screen, 800x600 for documentary images, or 650-850 pixel width range as appropriate to achieve readability on screen
  • No max available, mapped to same datastream as screen

Phase 2 content for this model: Fowler, Jefferson Country

uvaLowRes Image Content Model

    • uvaDefault Disseminator / uvaDefaultLowRes Mechanism
      • getPreview – returns the thumbnail resolution of the image.
      • getLabel
      • getDescription
      • getFullView(pid)
      • getDefaultContent
    • uvaMeta
      • getDescMeta
      • getAdminMeta
      • getDC
      • viewDescMeta(style)
      • viewAdminMeta(style)
      • viewDC(style)
    • uvaImage Disseminator / uvaImageLowRes Mechanism
      • getPreview – returns the thumbnail resolution of the image.
      • getScreen  - returns the screen-sized resolution of the image.
      • getMax  - returns the screen-sized resolution of the image.
      • getImageViewer  - returns the screen-sized resolution of the image within the ImageViewer Applet.
    • uvaDownload Disseminator / uvaImageDownload Mechanism
      • getDownload – initiates a download of the screen datastream through the browser.
    • uvaOKI
      • getAssetDefs (childPid, parentPid)
    • Other
      • getDeliveryMaster  - returns the TIFF/MRSID master or a page describing where the master is located. for Phase 2, returns a statement describing the offline location of the master. The non-Fedora version does NOT exist in Phase I; Fedora-ized version will require writing a new script to handle this behavior.  Meant to return the TIFF/MRSID master or a page describing where the master is located.  Still to be implemented?

Recommendation:  All collections that do not currently contain static jpeg preview, static jpeg screen, and Mr. Sid max files should be regenerated to match that datastream model.  When no master is avaialble to meet the image standards, it is possible to map screen and max to the same physical file in the image object to cover the missing files. 

Recommendation: The getDeliveryMaster behavior will point to an element in the administrative metadata where the offline location of the Delivery Master is located, once that element is in use.
