6 ## What is digilib?
|
|
|
7
|
|
|
8 * `digilib` is a web based client/server technology for images. The image
|
|
|
9 content is processed on-the-fly by a Java Servlet on the server side so that
|
|
|
10 only the visible portion of the image is sent to the web browser on the client
|
|
|
11 side.
|
|
|
12 * `digilib` supports a wide range of image formats and viewing options on
|
|
|
13 the server side while only requiring an internet browser with Javascript and a
|
|
|
14 low bandwidth internet connection on the client side.
|
|
|
15 * `digilib` enables very detailed work on an image as required by
|
|
|
16 scholars with elaborate viewing features like an option to show images on the
|
|
|
17 screen in their original size.
|
|
|
18 * `digilib` facilitates cooperation of scholars over the internet and
|
|
|
19 novel uses of source material by image annotations and stable references that
|
|
|
20 can be embedded in URLs.
|

|
21 * `digilib` facilitates federation of image servers through a standards compliant
|
|
|
22 [IIIF](http://iiif.io) image API.
|
|

|
23 * `digilib` is Open Source Software under the Lesser General Public License,
|
|
|
24 jointly developed by the
