Thanks Scott.

looks interesting. i think this is when we need to start devolving
responsibility between developers of services i.e. we try to make these
libraries (of aggregated binary data sets) searchable from our UIs and since
this software provides specialist visualisation then I think preview/
looking and manipulating the data would be outside our implementation too.
so the thing to check here is do they implement a query interface i.e. SRW
and how can we catalogue collections in our instititutional repository that
may sit outside i.e. what is the aggregation metadata schema and how can we
import it, how would we add to it (secondary metadata) and would this new
metadata then need to be published (through OAI or equivalent).
service abstractions need to be decided on effort (not just the e-framework)
and hopefully they are putting their back into this :-) (looks like it is
open source and interoperable)
