Steve's original request:
In the current PLoS journals, they have the ability to display the
images and figures of articles in a separate window along with
title, caption, etc. In this window, you are also able to navigate
to the previous and next figure in the article. We need to at least
replicate this functionality, if not improve upon it (We are
thinking the ability to display a thumbnail of the figures a group
at a time would be nice). My question is what do you think the best
way to is to accomplish this on the back end side?
Since we don't have the time right now to figure out a proper way for
apps to store and retrieve arbitrary meta-data, the following
temporary hack will be done:
- ingest will extract out the list of images and put them in an
ordered list.
- an api method will be added to return this list
