11 ImageViewer
Built on technology (Macromedia Director MX 2004) which has not been updated in several years
MacOS and Windows operating systems have evolved since last release of Macromedia Director
ImageViewer only runs in emulation mode on newer operating systems
Needs facelift and new functionality to support audio video predefined splits etc.

Looking for new technology with which to build a new ImageViewer (or MediaViewer)
Must still run on both MacOS and Windows

15 IMLS Grant Overview
2006 National Leadership Grants for Libraries
Grant Category Research and Demonstration
Project Title Making Connections Linking MDID to Other Image Systems and Tools
Description JMU will research and develop the means of allowing its MDID to be used by more educators and with different systems and tools. The results of this project will allow users to access many more image collections and will serve as a model for interoperability in image systems.
16 IMLS Grant Guiding Principles
We should be able to work with the tools and systems we prefer
We should be able to bring digital images from disparate and previously disconnected resources together in a single coherent easy-to-manage interface
Interoperability should work in both directions so that we arent forced to choose a particular system or set of tools
Interoperability should encourage individuals and institutions to share their images and image collections
