Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital Object Viewer
Would love to use Diva.js, but an image server is not an option right now. I was able to get IA BookReader working, but still need to workout the search and embed functionality.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital Object Viewer
Thank you everyone. I'll take a closer look at IA BookReader. Last time I tried to use it, I couldn't get it to work. Will try again and also check out NY Times.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital Object Viewer
If by digital objects you mean images we've been getting a lot of mileage out of OpenSeaDragon [1] at the Library of Congress. You do have to pre-generate the deep-zoom-files DZI [2] or you can implement your own server side tiling code to do it on the fly. As a space vs time trade off we generate tiles on the fly in Chronicling America [3], since there are millions of newspaper page images. But in the World Digital Library [4] we generate DZI files. Chris Thatcher, one of the developers at LC has a fork of the codeplex repo on GitHub [5], which we are applying some fixes to, since GitHub is alot easier to navigate and use than Codeplex.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital Object Viewer
Yes, it's my understanding that OpenSeaDragon is basically a JavaScript implementation of the OpenZoom flash code...and that they work on roughly the same DZI files. But my knowledge of OpenZoom is very limited, so take that with a grain of salt. //Ed On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 12:07 PM, Raymond Yee raymond@gmail.com wrote: Thanks, Ed, for pointing out OpenSeaDragon -- I didn't know about it.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital Object Viewer
Hi, I thought it was a Javascript implementation of the Silverlight DeepZoom code, but I'm not sure either. The IIPImage server supports various protocols and clients. From a jpeg2000 or pyramidal tiff it can stream tiles conforming to DeepZoom, Internet Image Protocol (IIP) and Zoomify protocols. This allows it to work with lots of clients including IIPMooviewer, OpenSeaDragon/SeadragonAjax, Zoomify, OpenZoom, OpenLayers, PanoJS, JIIPImage (and maybe Silverlight, I'm not sure). There are demos on the IIPImage site [1] and some more on the Old Maps Online site [2]. Coming at it from the client-side, the IIPMooviewer 2.0 beta can display tiles from any of the IIPImage Server protocols, but it can also load pre-generated DeepZoom/OpenSeadragon/DZI or Zoomify tiles without the need for an image server.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital Object Viewer
Hi, Nathan. I haven't yet managed to get it installed, but Multivio [1] looks promising. For image viewing, PanoJS [2] is pretty cool, though I'm a bit wary of the piles of tiles approach. Would be more comfortable integrating PanoJS with something like Multivio. Would love to hear about similar projects. An External visualization service feels like the right way to increase usability of repositories, to me, anyway.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital Object Viewer
Hi, The IA Book Reader doesn't need an image server to be installed. It will load images pre-generated at different sizes (e.g. small, medium, large) that just sit on your server. I think this is how the demo supplied with the distribution works. It can optionally be made to work with an image server (we use it with the IIPImage Server).
