Thanks, everyone, and keep them coming. There can be a lot of different components to a single item, and we're looking at ways of fitting it all together in a user friendly and elegant way. I'm hoping that when a person clicks on something after searching or browsing, they don't get a

Our digital collections contain multi-page works of scanned imagery, single documents, and sometimes a combination of both. Below is an example of a letter containing both scanned images and document transcriptions. The descriptive of the metadata is applied to the parent work, but each

Sarah- We developed our own RDF ontology[1] to model our data, based roughly on MODS and MADS, and we store our files and metadata in a custom repository[2] which implements the core of the Fedora 3 REST API. We developed a Hydra head[3] for searching, display, etc. There is currently an

The short answer is that what we have right now is document-type items (pages of books or letters, front and back of a map), but that might grow in the future to include video or multiple views of art objects. The documents are the main concern right now. Most of our compound objects in contentdm

The best way to display compound objects really depends on the nature of the compound objects. For example, the optimal display for a book stored as a compound object will be very different than an art object taken from various vantage points or a dataset. Likewise, whether you can get away with

Islandora has a compound image model that allows for objects in the repository to be related to each other. An example in the Islandora Foundation's sandbox: http://sandbox.islandora.ca/islandora/object/islandora%3A105 This is made up of two large image objects:

Laura, is it an option to migrate the literary content into a TEI form? You could consolidate the objects that make up a single text into a single complex object, with embedded metadata (at whatever level you like), and then wheel in some existing TEI content management / presentation system. On

We're migrating from CONTENTdm and trying to figure out how to display compound objects (or the things formerly known as compound objects) and metadata for the end user. Can anyone point me to really good examples of displaying items like this, especially where the user can see metadata for parts
