|
| |
|
| imeji is a scientific image management application, based on the [https://www.escidoc.org/ eSciDoc] infrastructure, for scholars who want to save their images on the web, but also maintaining the corresponding metadata and its values, for data completeness. | | '''For information about the imeji software and the imeji community please visit [http://imeji.org imeji.org] ''' |
|
| |
|
| Scholars can create and share own image collections and albums. For each collection, a metadata profile can be defined to describe the characteristics of the images within by using texts, numbers, controlled vocabularies, dates, locations, or URIs. This enables complex queries and faceted display of search results. imeji allows an easy and efficient upload of images through the web browser. Metadata can be edited comfortably for single or multiple images, allowing also efficient maintenance of larger image sets. Subsets of images can be created as albums for re-use in publications. Albums offer stable citations of the subset after released to public.

Albums are similar to photo albums in the non-digitalized world and are subsets of the content of imeji. <br>
| |
| An album can contain pictures from several collections. Therefore images within one album can have different metadata profiles. <br/> <br/> <div align="center">[[File:Imeji_Album.png | 400px]]</div>

When someone tries to edit a locked item, an information message will be displayed. To avoid confusion when more than one user tries to edit the metadata of the same picture(s) at the same time, the system takes care that always the newest version of the pictures and its metadata is displayed. And this will be the only version that is editable. <br/> <br/> <div align="center">[[File:Imeji-collaboration.png | 400px]]</div>

| == Why imeji? ==
| |
| The speciality of imeji is that is does not only store and share images, but that it also stores and shares the metadata values of the images. Metadata is not just restricted to free defined tags, but are maintained in a standardized manner that allows an advanced search based on metadata profiles. Therefore, images are easily retrievable. Further on, it offers persistent albums which can be cited in publications.
| |
| | |
| == How to use imeji? ==
| |
| We set up a demo environment at: http://imeji.org <br/>
| |
| The browse and search functionalities within public collections are accessible for everyone.
| |
| For uploading images and creating own collections, an account is needed. Please apply for an account at our demo instance by sending an e-mail to the [mailto:imeji-support@gwdg.de '''support'''] mailing list.
| |
| | |
| == The Birth of imeji ==
| |
| imeji is the successor of the software evolved from the [[Faces | FACES project]].
