Description
Digital Mappa (DM): Tools For Digital Annotation and Linking (at the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies) is an environment for the study and annotation of images and texts. It is a suite of tools, enabling scholars to gather and organize the evidence necessary to support arguments based in digitized resources. DM enables users to mark fragments of interest in manuscripts, print materials, photographs, etc. and provide commentary on these resources and the relationships among them.
