[Dspace-general] Image Collections in DSpace?

[Wayne Johnston]

Although our project has been stalled, I thought I would respond because 
there seems to be a close parallel with what you are doing.
We had developed a prototype for a pathobiology image repository for 
veterinary science. 
Our approach involved a dSpace repository with three images per 
submission: one thumbnail, one jpeg for presentation quality, and one 
TIFF for research quality.
We opted to supplement that with a custom-designed user interface that 
would offer our primary users the specific interface they required.
In other words, all users would have access to the images through DSpace 
but a closed community would have the option of retrieving images from 
DSpace through a distinct interface.
