Esme, Your examples are similar to what I am hoping for. Can you explain a little bit more what system you used for backend to store image URLs and Object descriptions?

But there are also some objects with more metadata for each part: http://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb0479301d? -Esme > On 01/28/15, at 4:43 PM, Laura Buchholz <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > 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.
