How big is it expected to grow?

At this point, I would like to keep it to two collections containing at most 62 images and focusing on original albums and singles.

In the future, I could add new collections to show compilation albums, collaborations, soundtrack work, videos and/or mp3s.

How will access and intellectual property rights be managed?

At this point, I’m treating this as a learning experience and class project, and thus, not making it truly public.

If made public, I would contact Geffen Records, the current copyright holder and ask for express permission to use their copyrighted images for strictly non-commercial use.

If permission is granted all appropriate credits, disclaimers, and copyrights would be noted for each item.

What systems does it need to interact with?

No specific systems are required as this is a stand-alone website with all data stored in the Omeka database.

What special capabilities does it need?

It is designed to be a simple project that doesn’t rely on special functionalities beyond the capabilities of Omeka and its plugins (such as simple pages and comments).
