1) RESTful web services for AT content types and vocabularies

We have many use cases that involve sharing/integrating content and vocabularies between systems.  We think that REST is an appropriate technology for such goals.  Our work will likely take the form of:

  •     Service providers that adapt AT content objects to be exposed via REST
  •     Tools to consume RESTful content/vocabularplone.org/products/ies into our systems.

We made good progress on this at the sprint.  See our atrest-notes page for notes and updates

2) Map gallery

This Product will facilitate organizing a collection of maps with associated metadata and preview images. It would include search/browse tools, and a way for people to request new maps be created. The Nature Conservancy has an app that they use internally that may be used as a reference design or componetized into a new tool.

We did not have time to work on this at the sprint.


3) Plone4ArtistsImage

The forthcoming plone4artists image content type will feature extraction of embedded metadata.  We are particularly interested in contributing to the ability to extract geo-tagged location metadata. 

We made good progress on this at the sprint. For more information, see the Image topic above.
