Representations
...
Contains all digital images, audio, video, etc. related to catalog records. Files are uploaded by browse + select.
Use: Frequent
Notes:
- Representations are tied to catalog records, if the same image shows two different objects it must be uploaded twice.
- A catalog record may have more than one representation attached, one must be designated as primary (the first file attached will be automatically assigned this designation)
- Representations may be public or hidden - if a record is published but a representation is hidden, it does not appear to the public.
- Representations may be added by browse or via the filespace.
- Zoomable images and derivatives are generated on the fly (ImageMagick, Tilepic, etc.).
