DV_MULTIMEDIA
Hi, Instead of a lot of attention to arcane things like name, identity, etc we need to know whether the patient belongs to a stored document, and vice versa. So a jpeg is an excellent way to do just that. A jpeg is infinitly better than a strange number.

I believe that fixing 'thumbnail' to a specific technology makes sense. I haven't been able to come up with another function that could be equated with thumbnail other than 'viewing a reduced size image'. Certainly you could have portions/compressions of other multimedia content but they would be called summaries, extracts, abstracts, etc. of the content. I do think if we are going to specify a technology it should be as open as possible. Portable Network Graphics(.PNG) works everywhere and works equally well with either line or continuous tone image data. If anyone wants to review the various options here is a quick overview: http://www.devx.com/projectcool/Article/19997/0/page/3 Cheers, -- Tim Cook Key ID 9ACDB673 @ http://www.keyserver.net/en/ -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Dear All I have been working with DV_MULTIMEDIA and feel that the thumbnail feature should be a JPEG rather than a DV_MULTIMEDIA. I believe this is the way to go as although it restricts the thumbnail to an image - it means that everyone can view the thumbnails. It also means we do not have a cyclical definition. The danger is fixing to a particular technology - but I think in this case it is worth it. Thoughts?
