- Allow metadata to be specific to a context - much information like filename, worktitle, location should live with the file wherever it is used. There is also information specific to where and how the image is being used that is important (e.g. these 2 images together represent the evolution of Picasso's work around technique).
- Allow sharing of images
- Different users can add their own meaning/context to images
- My Workspace Image Gallery allows users to maintain all their images. They can pull or push them in to other contexts.
- Allow powerpoints in the Image Gallery since many faculty are starting to use it as a way to create their lectures (rather than just the traditional side by side comparison they did with slides). The ppt should be able to run as a slide slow just like a collection. In essence, the ppt file is a collection.
