Annotorius has been integrated with OpenLayers [1] to support annotation of maps on zoomable images. Quite excellent work indeed, thanks to Rainer.
As part of IIIF [2] and Shared Canvas [3] we have been targeting a similar OpenSeadragon integration with Annotorius and then making this a feature/modality in the Mirador image comparison environment [4]. Part of the roadmap for Mirador is to have annotation viewing and making integrated with OpenSeadragon (or similarly tiled) zooming. -Stu [1] http://annotorious.github.io/demos/openlayers-annotation.html [2] http://iiif.io/ [3] http://www.shared-canvas.org/ [4] http://iiif.io/mirador/ On Nov 10, 2013, at 12:34 PM, Edward Summers wrote: > Annotorious [1] is a neat little JavaScript library for adding annotations to > an image, and displaying them later.
