Applications using annostor features
annostor has been in use with several research organizations for five years, and is now being released as a subscription service. Here's a summary of annostor features and applications, and the case studies below provide links to existing users research outputs.
Access control
Work-in-progress using annostor is restricted by default: users decide when to make their work accessible to collaborators, or to the wider community.
Geotagging
Geographic and imaging information can be transformed into repository metadata using annostor.
Use any IIIF-compatible services
Import IIIF manifests from global providers to build annostor research projects, and create your own long-term IIIF services.
Manage your own annotation vocabularies
With off-the-shelf vocabularies, plus tools to create and maintain region and canvas annotations, it's easy to get going with annostor and also to tailor it for your own research.
Multiple annotation applications
annostor currently packages multiple Mirador3-based tools for creating and editing: Annotorious, Transkribus and Mirador4 will be added in 2026/7.
PIDs
Your annotation collections and IIIF resources are linked to your ORCID, and annostor can mint DOIs for your research outputs.
