Introduction Let   us   start   by   knowing   the   software   involved   in   the   LUNA   Suite/Insight   Suite.    

 

1.  Insight  Studio                               Insight   Studio   is   the   main   hub   for   the   collection   builder   (kind   of   like   a   studio   is   for   an   artist!).   It   provides   various   tools   which   can   be   used   to   create   collections,   upload   multimedia,   grant   access   to   users   etc.   This   is   software   is   a   must   for   a   collection   builder.   However,   students   dont   need   to   have   this.    

2.  Inscribe             Inscribe   is   a   record   publishing   software   of   the   Insight   Suite   (Get   it   .   Inscribe   ).   A   collection   owner/cataloguer   can   use   this   software   to   manually   add/edit/delete   records   which   is   normally   associated   to   an   image   or   multimedia   asset.   This   software   can   be   used   by   collection   builder   or   any   other   appropriate   user   (Cataloguers)   but   not   by   a   student.      

3.  Insight                They   call   this   software   just   Insight.   It   is   also   referred   to   as   Insight   Java   Client.    It   gives   you   an   Insight   to   the   various   collections   hosted   and   made   available   to   the   user.   This   software   allows   the   user   to   view   images,   download   images,   create   presentations,   and   annotate   images   and   lot   more.   This   software   is   mainly   for   the   End ‐ user.   This   will   be   used   heavily   mainly   by   the   faculty   and   the   students.    

Getting the Software Now   that   we   know   a   little   bit   of   the   software,   lets   go   and   get   it.   You   can   download   the   software   either   from   the   Universitys   Web   page   for   Luna   ( http://about.luna.umd.edu/downloads.html )   or   from   the   LUNAs   official   website   ( http://www.lunaimaging.com/downloads/index.html   ).     Installation All   you   need   to   do   is   double ‐ click   on   the   downloaded   setup   file   and   the   installation   will   begin.   You   need   to   keep   in   mind   just   the   following   items   in   order   to   successfully   install   the   software.   •   During   installation   you   might   be   asked   to   select   which   type   of   installation   you   want.   Select   the   Advanced/Custom   ( if   they   are   available )   one   as   shown   below.  

•  Click  Next  to  choose  the  Installation  Directory,  it  recommended  not  to  change  this.   •   Then   further   down   youll   be   asked   to   type   in   the   User   Manager   Address.   Type   luna.umd.edu   instead   of   insightuser.lunaimaging.com

Creating your First Collection Before   you   can   make   a   collection   you   need   to   first   acquire   proper   rights   to   the   system.   Please   contact   luna ‐ [e-mail]   for   the   rights.     I.   You   always   start   creating   a   collection   using   Insight   Studio.   You   need   to   start   Insight   Studio   and   Log   in.   You   should   see   a   list   of   collection   managers.   Select   the   one   you   have   access   to   and   select   the   option   Create   New   Collection.  

 

II.   III.   IV.   V.  

  Click   on   Next   till   you   reach   the   Collection   Properties   page.   Fill   in   the   fields   accordingly.   It   is   suggested   that   you   name   your   collection   using   the   format   College   Name      Collection   Name.   For   e.g.   a   collection   named   Buildings   of   Architecture   school   should   be   named   ARCH      Buildings.   This   will   help   to   organize   the   collections   pretty   easily.   The   next   page   allows   you   to   select   the   Collection   Theme.   This   is   will   set   the   background   of   the   collection.   Next   in   line   comes   the   Catalog   Templates.   Catalog   Templates   decided   the   Metadata   structure   that   is   associated   with   the   images.   You   can   either   select   from   the   available   options   or   you   can   create   your   own   template.   You   can   create   a   template   based   on   other   templates   as   well.   For   More   information,   consult   Users   Guide   to   Basic   Collection   Building   ( http://about.luna.umd.edu/documents/Insight_Basic Guide.pdf   )   _ The   next   step   should   be   to   Publish   the   Collection.   This   will   set   up   the   Collection   with   the   above   set   properties.    

Uploading Data and Images This   section   explains   the   steps   required   to   import   data,   media   and   map   them   automatically   in   LUNA.   It   is   assumed   that   you   already   have   set   up   a   collection   with   the   required   metadata   template.   In   Order   to   get   started   we   need   two   main   things:   I.   The   Data   (preferred   in   a   Comma   Separated   File   )   If   you   already   have   data   in   a   database   or   other   program   find   if   you   can   export   them   to   a   Comma   Separated   File   Format.     The   Data   Fields   should   ideally   match   with   the   Fields   in   your   Metadata   Scheme   in   LUNA.     For   e.g.   consider   this   test   template   in   LUNA.  

 

    The   Corresponding   Data   File   has   the   fields:  

The  Red  Rectangle  Shows  the  Field  Names  and  the  Blue  Rectangles  shows  the  Data.    

 

II.  The  Mapping  information  (  in  a  Tab ‐ Limited  Text  File)   Mapping   File   contains   information   regarding   which   DATA   RECORD   relates   to   which   IMAGE   in   the   collection.  

It  should  like  this   It   should   contain   only   two   columns,   the   first   one   should   be   the   IMAGE   FILENAME   and   the   second   column   should   be   the   RECORD   NUMBER/IDENTIFIER   of   the   data .   Steps   to   Import  

1.  Log  in  to  INSIGHT  STUDIO  and  select  the  appropriate  collection.   2.   Click   on   Import   Data    3.   Select   the   DATA   Comma   Separated   File   that   you   have.   Make   sure   you   have   the   appropriate   type   of   File   selected.   Click   on   Next.

4.  After  you  click  next,  LUNA  reads  the  Data  File  and  maps  it  to  the  FIELDS  in  the  TEMPLATE.  If   everything   matches   it   will   show   you   the   mappings.  

  In  case  it  shows  <MISSING  MAPPING>,  you  need  to  click  on  it  and  manually  map  it  to  a  field.  

5.  Finally  Clicking  on  Finish  will  import  the  Data  into  the  collection.

 

 

6.   7.   8.  

The  Next  step  is  to  upload  the  Images.   Click   on   IMPORT   MEDIA.   We   need   to   first   create   a   new   Batch.   Select   the   option   of   Import   Images.   Browse   for   Images   and   select   them.   And   finally   Import   them.  

 

 

 

9.  Click  on  the  Tab  Linking.  Select  the  option  Use  External  Mapping.  Browse  to  the  Mapping  File.   Make   sure   that   the   Mapping   Field   Name   is   correct   (It   specifies   what   the   second   column   in   our   mapping   file   is).Finally   Click   Apply   Links.  

10.  You  can  Review  the  Mappings  by  clicking  the  Review  tab.  

 

 

 

11.  Click  on  the  Publish  Tab  to  finally  publish  the  collection.  First  Click  on  Select  All  Unpublished   Media.   Then   click   on   the   Down   Arrow.   Then   Click   on   Apply   Changes.  

  The   collection   should   now   have   the   data   and   the   images   linked.
