Dear List I'm looking for a product to build an art database with. In some sense it is just an image database where each image has some meta data. Any suggestions? ZPhotoAlbum? \Oliver
why not use CMF? You could use CMFExternal Image, the images get put put on the filesystem and you get dublin core as well as any other metadata you want to put in. <--> george donnelly - http://zettai.net/ - "We Love Newbies" :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo: zettainet - ICQ: 51907738 - e:george@zettai.net

CMF is not a bad idea. To be more precise the job is to make a site where groups of people can lend each other art. So every image should be catogorized be its meta data and there an owner on the image and a current user and that is more or less it. \Oliver
CMF will be overkill but will certainly serve for this. You might want to homebrew an app with regular images and some python scripts but if you ever want to grow the site into something else, CMF will be more scalable. <--> george donnelly - http://zettai.net/ - "We Love Newbies" :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo: zettainet - ICQ: 51907738 - e:george@zettai.net

Hi Oliver, I would try CMF/Plone for the usability benefits of Plone. Use CMFPhoto Product to store Photos and maybe add more Properties or reuse DublinCoreMetadata fields. Be sure to have a closer look at the Metadata-Tool. You can eg. predefine Keywords. You can categorize your content by using topics and subtopics. They are a nice and quick way to have multiple views on your content: All Photos by this user, all photos with these keywords etc. Hope that helps.
