HyperImage Documentation of the Ebstorf World Map

This dataset contains the results of the research project "Ebstorfer Weltkarte" dealing with the web documentation and representation of one medieval world map found in the monastery Ebstorf. The dataset is generated and implemented by using the open source software HyperImage. The HyperImage software was developed to document the highly complex interlinked image and text material to facilitate the reconstruction of artworks. HyperImage implements the pictorial footnote on the image, meaning that precisely marked image details can be linked via hypertext with other image details, image collections and texts. The image details are intellectually identified and marked, i.e., by authors, not by programs.
