Editing User:Ckeene/Ideas for future versions of eprints (section)

== Enhance the eprint abstract page (a la flickr) ==
the Eprints team briefly demonstrated this at OR08. It looked great.

* ''Here's a mockup [http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/jtp/projects/ePrints/index4.html Abstract page]'' [LES CARR]

Basically two things:
* At the moment many people come in via google, land on a page and that is it. If the Abstract page had 'see similar items' 'people who looked at this also looked at', plus tags etc for enhanced navigation. As well as these autogenerated facilities, perhaps something where repository managers can say 'if a record belongs to chemistry then advertise item x, or display this promotional image/text).
* Something I know has been discussed is the idea that it is the item that is import. for documents, a large preview, for images and movies, they should be shown on the page. Again, I know people often refer to flick as a way of showing the content, with the metadata still visible but not dominant, and I would add my vote in saying this sounds like the right direction.
