Story (A paragraph or two describing what happens) | For binary objects that are added to fedora, we would like to have a service that will generate derivatives. This would include, e.g. extracting thumbnails from PDFs, MPEGs, or larger (TIFF, JP2) image formats. For many binary formats, multiple derivatives would be needed, e.g. a medium-sized image. Ideally, these would be generated automatically whenever binaries of certain MIMEtypes are ingested. This processing should be something that can be distributed over N servers. |
