| 1 digilib - the Digital Image Library | |
| 2 =================================== | |
| 3 | |
| 4 A versatile image viewing environment for the internet. | |
| 5 | |
| 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` is Open Source Software under the Lesser General Public License, | |
| 22 jointly developed by the | |
| 23 [Max-Planck-Institute for the History of Science](http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de), | |
| 24 the [Bibliotheca Hertziana](http://www.biblhertz.it), | |
| 25 the [University of Bern](http://philoscience.unibe.ch) and others. | |
