Digilib is a web based client/server technology for images. The image content is processed on-the-fly by a Java Servlet on the server side so that only the visible portion of the image is sent to the web browser on the client side. It supports a wide range of image formats and viewing options on the server side while only requiring an internet browser with javascript and a low bandwidth internet connection on the client side. digilib enables very detailed work on an image as required by scientists with elaborate zoom features like an option to show images on the screen in their original size. digilib facilitates cooperation of scientists over the internet and novel uses of source material by image annotations and stable references that can be embedded in URLs. digilib is used in the ALCATRAZ framework of image, text and annotation tools and many other projects.

T-PEN (Transcription for Paleographical and Editorial Notation)
Extensive set of tools to allow collaborative transcription of manuscript pages in TEI-compliant XML. Features of T-PEN through version 1.2 [from project blog] Zoom Tool in Transcription User Interface: Holding CTRL+SHIFT will result in a magnified image of the current line being transcribed. Magnifying Tool in Full Page View: Click on "Magnify" button at the top right of the browser window and a magnifying glass tool will appear as the mouse pointer. Click on the same button to dismiss the tool. The magnifying tool is also available in the Compare Page feature. Create a Project “Pipeline” to the outer world: In partnership with The Carolingian Canon Law Project (CCL), T-PEN developed a model for enabling users working on transcription projects in T-PEN to export their work to a larger, external project. In this instance, the CCL prepared for T-PEN an XML-markup template (XML button set) that may be used for all transcriptions destined for the CCL database. Users identify their T-PEN projects as destined for the CCL, and when the transcription is complete, they can submit it from T-PEN to the CCL project. The CCL receives notification of the stable URL in T-PEN that the CCL can (either manually or by automation) use to extract the designated transcription from T-PEN’s data store. Other projects interested in creating their own pipeline should contact T-PEN via t-pen.org T-PEN Administration: T-PEN administrator can clear registration requests that have not been approved (ones that were mostly generated through internal testing). Transcription UI: The previous line text will scale to the size of the screen. When on the first line of the page, available text from the last line of the previous page will be shown. Visual Cue for Closing Tag Proximity (Transcription UI): Closing tags originating on previous pages are faded to indicate their distance from the current line of transcription. Transcription Preview: The preview tool now applies a simple color filter to to allow for a more clear view of your transcription. New Project Option Tools: Users can add a French/English dictionary, a dictionary for Middle English and the Dictionary of Old English (subscription required). User can select which tools will be available in the Transcription UI’s i-frame. All tools can also be renamed by the user on the project management page. Exporting Transcriptions: When exporting xml, users can select or deselect all the tags for inclusion at once. Line History (Versioning): T-PEN distinguishes between all versions of any transcription line. Users can view previous versions of a given line. A change in a line is defined as addition or deletion of a single character (including white space) or modifications to the line parsing coordinates. A previous version can be selected to replace the current version. All versioning activity is recorded in the project log, which can be viewed on the project management page under the Collaboration tab.

A Python-based XML web publishing framework which enables dynamic pipelining of XSLT transformations. Data is processed by an XML pipeline composed of several WSGI applications and middleware components. Features: Apache Cocoon Sitemap 1.0 compatible WSGI modularity URI pattern matching
A software suite for displaying, converting and editing still images stored in a raster image format. Image manipulation may be performed via the command line, API libraries, or through a simply graphical user interface. With recent development, it can now be used to store images in over 200 different image formats. Features: Software control through API and command line Format conversion Image transformation Transparency support Format identification Text to image conversion Read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes Distributed pixel cache Perceptual hash
A software application that enables relational databases to be created, managed and queried. The database management system enables multiple users to access a database through an appropriate interface. As an open source tool, MySQL underpins a number of free software projects, such as WordPress, phpBB and other software built on a LAMP infrastructure. Although widely used, there are a number of performance issues that limit its use in some environments. For example, it is unable to use multiple CPU cores to process a single query, potentially limiting its use as a data warehouse. Features: X/Open XA distributed transaction processing (DTP) support Connector/ODBC enables connection to a MySQL server using the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) API Connector/NET enables developers to create .NET applications that use data stored in a MySQL database
A server-side software application that enables databases conformant to a relational data model to be created, managed and queried. Information, most commonly text may be stored as one or more records contained within a table. The table may exist in isolation or have some relationship to other tables. Information may be manipulated using a set of T-SQL or ANSI SQL commands. Several editions of SQL Server 2014 are available, including SQL Server Business Intelligence, Developer, Enterprise, Express, Standard and Web. Features: Service Broker Replication Services using transaction, merge, or snapshot replication Analysis functionality to perform data mining, OLAP and other services Report generation services Enterprise scalability across compute, networking, and storage Consistent data platform on-premises to cloud Easy integration with Microsoft Azure
A software tool capable of performing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) upon a set of images. It was one of the first OCR recognition software to be developed. It was developed in the late 1980s and sold by Caere Corporation. It is currently owned by Kofax Inc. It achieves the task by analysing pixel sets and in an image and cross-matching them to a dictionary of words. Omnipage automates large sections of the digitisation process enabling physical objects to be scanned, processed using the OCR software and exported to a document file format. Later versions of the software incorporate image enhancement features to improve scan quality (and recognition results) and better support for complex page layouts and forms. Features: Integration with scanning software Maintain layout of captured document
