Welcome to PhotoLibrary, a web application for storing, cataloging and retrieving image files.

This package is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.

Features:

Images are organized into a two-level structure consisting of country and major category, plus any keywords desired. This structure is imposed in the interest of making it easy to find relevant images by browsing and searching.

An image can have multiple versions (e.g. different resolutions and file types).

Three user roles:
All users can browse, search, download, and upload (submit) images.
Reviewers can also modify cataloging information about images.
Librarians can also publish (approve) submissions.

Images can be found either by browsing or by searching. Searching will search keywords, descriptions (captions), and user comments.

Images are previewed at 500 x 500 pixels. This is especially useful for hi-res images.

Users may select image files and save selections for later recall in "baskets". Images in baskets may be downloaded.

Users may "vote" on a "user rating" for each image. The user rating determines which images are returned first in a search.

When users upload images for submission, required information must be given by the user for each image. Cataloging rules are enforced by the system for required information: caption, country, and major category. Uploaded images are approved and published to the collection by a librarian.

User screens are available in multiple languages. English and French are included,and others may be added. UTF-8 encoding is supported.

User authentication can be be local to the application, or can be based on Windows passwords, or can be done against Active Directory via LDAP.
