Make THUMBS fileGrp optional when using image servers

Open sebastian-meyer opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Description

When using image servers like IIIF, IIP or Zoomify the file group THUMBS should be optional, since those derivates could be fetched from the image server as well.

Problem

Even when using an image server it's still mandatory to have an additional file group THUMBS. This is redundant and just makes the METS files larger.

Proposed Solution

If the file group DEFAULT refers to an image server, this should also be used for fetching thumbnails.

Target Version

This doesn't break backwards compatibility and could be implemented in any future version. But it should go with an update of the application profile to reflect the change.
