Adno
Annotate and share curated cultural and scientific content
Adno is a user-friendly web application designed for creating annotation series on online, static and IIIF-compliant images. Designed in collaboration with cultural and scientific mediators, it enables users to create, present and share guided or self-guided tours within images. Adno is also of interest to researchers and has potential applications for a broad audience.
Adno is built on open standards: specifically, the W3C Web Annotation Model and the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). IIIF refers to both a shared technical framework and a community of people who develop APIs, implement them in software, and expose interoperable content. IIIF is used by an increasing number of cultural and scientific institutions. Its features extend to audio and video, and 3D soon. IIIF makes hundreds of millions of images accessible, searchable, comparable, manipulable, citable, annotatable, and mixable by any compatible application that can connect to each other's repositories. Adno is part of this ecosystem.
