[ome-devel] OMERO on android? + integration + LSIDs

[Johan Henriksson]

Hello!
What is the status of OMERO on android? Is it planned or is it even
actually worked on?

The reason I ask is that I have a bunch of students who are looking for a
project, and I am tempted to put them on this. However, there are some
prerequisites for this that have to work out before I can promise anything
(I am switching lab, and of course, they have to pick this particular
project). But before going to far, it would be good to know what the
current status is, if this is worthwhile at all?

Part of the reason I think it would be nice to push this is that over the
last year I have developed a new (and awesome) lab documentation system,
running on all operating systems + android, and it would be cool if I could
integrate OMERO into it. An android OMERO client would be a start of
course. But: On the other platforms, have you thought of any good ways of
enabling interoperability? I mean in this case not to load images from
OMERO into my software, but rather, how I can my software signal to the
OMERO client that a certain image should be displayed? And/or, how to load
the client in the first place (if not open)?

I suspect the solution will be badly platform dependent. DBUS would
partially have done the work on linux; java RMI could partially be a
portable solution but how to automatically load the client is still a
mystery. A nicely licensed small library to do this interaction would be
really nifty

Finally: How are the LSIDs for images coming along? Have they actually
adopted?

cheers,
Johan
