Virtual library for ancient manuscripts

Abstract

This work is the second part of a European project called BAMBI (Better Access to Manuscripts and Browsing of Images). In the initial BAMBI project, we developed a workstation for historians, and more particularly philologists, which allows them to make transcriptions, annotation, indexing, etc. on manuscripts. In this paper, we present the design of the virtual library based on BAMBI, allowing philologists to work on ancient manuscripts within the Internet network. Our approach for the Web implementation of the BAMBI workstation is based on the reuse of the local BAMBI software and on the ActiveX approach.
