The HyperImage Editor allows digital images, texts and mixed-media documents to be linked with each other. The special feature of the Editor is its ability – using a series of simple mouse-clicks – to link any number of references between images, or any shape of area within an image with each other using hyperlinks.
The HyperImage Editor is a server-based software environment that enables authors, or a group of authors, to work on images in a common project before the project is exported from the Editor to be published. The Editor can be used as a Java webstart application regardless of the respective operating system used for the work.
Because the HyperImage system is accessed through the web, it is possible to work on it from any location. Only authorised users have log-in access to the data. And only these decide when data and the results of the work with HyperImage are to be exported from the protected working environment of the Editor and processed/published elsewhere.
Import perspective: Importing binary
data (such as digital images) as well as metadata from other repositories
that are linked to them.
Group perspective: Creating group and
related metadata. Adding objects, view, layers, inscriptions, texts,
hyperlinks and light tables to groups.
Object perspective: Editing objects and
metadata.
Layer perspective: Creating layers taken
from extracts of images, editing their metadata and linking to
other elements in the respective HyperImage project.
Project text perspective: Editing project
texts.
Search perspective: Searching for project
content.
Administration perspective: Setting and
managing individual project settings, such as the language used
in the project, for example.
Light table perspective: Adding project-specific
light tables, created with the HyperImage Reader.
Export perspective: Work created in the
Editor is exported in an exchange format (PeTAL/XML) specific to
the project for further use and publication, for example in the
HyperImage Reader.
