Archive press releases

imeji creates citable research assets from scientific media data like photographs, microscope im-ages or graphics. The Max Planck Digital Library has recently released a first version of this soft-ware for research institutions or other interested parties. As imeji is an open source project, it is free of charge and can be reused by everybody.

The publication and reusability of scientific media data are the focus of this application. imeji enables an easy-to-use upload of images, the description of data with freely definable parameters and the interlinking of data. Information can be handled with a non- restrictive metadata schema definition, as simple as de-sired or as complex as needed. Large collections can be organized in different albums to focus special items of interest or to ensure the citability for publications. Albums can be shared among users to enable collaboration for creating and enriching sets of images.
The development is distributed among the imeji-community, an open software developer partnership, which ensures the sustainability of the imeji software and enables further stable development. The com-munity consists, among others, of the Institute of Art and Visual History of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Max Planck Digital Library and Konrad Zuse Internet Archive of Freie Universität Berlin.
