Fwd: [Web4lib] RE: Open Source Image Repository Software

[Adam Hochman]

Hello,
I am the product manager for bSpace Images, an image application for UC 
Berkeley's learning management system, bSpace, that will help users 
avoid recreating, rediscovering, redescribing, and reorganizing images 
many times over. Our initial focus is "personal collections" and will 
probably adopt some of the tagging concepts found in Flickr.  We will 
use Fedora as our digital repository.  bSpace Images long term goal is 
to offer the following features: course/lecture galleries, collection 
pools (like Flickr Groups),  community sharing, slide show mechanism, 
federated search.

>> Good Luck
