I have two types of objects.
First type is a book comprised of pages - JPGs. There is one METS file per book listing all pages. It looks like DSpace 7 could display this if the METS files are transformed into IIIF manifests.
Second type is a book comprised of chapters - PDFs. There is one METS file per book listing all chapters. May be it is possible to use IIIF manifests again - with the IIIF "rendering" property. But then perhaps it will be impossible to implement authorized only access to the chapters (PDFs).
The most general solution would be a custom viewer, which reads the METS files and displays the JPGs/PDFs. But I am not sure is there in DSpace 7 a standard way to attach a custom viewer?
