So I experiment a little bit with TMS[1] and create: http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/zoom-image/tms/ To create this tiles I use the opensource tool GDAL2tiles.[2]
I also test Zoomify so if you want to compare: http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/zoom-image/ but I think we need in the future no flash.
One thing that is needed is to address a specific point in the picture, like a coordinate in a map. When this is applied to digitized newspapers, we need to be able to link directly to the article halfway down in column 5.
I'm certain map tile systems can do this (it works for coordinates in OpenStreetMap), but we need to ask the same question for any image zoom system.
If you use this solution for digitized newspapers or books, you can put all page images in one big zoomable picture.
