The artiPACS (Art in a Picture Archive) is a digital picture archive. It has two main modules: the archive and the broker. The Picture Archive module consists of a file-transfer server, a reference repository, and a utility to upload photos. Since the archive uses version control, you can see collections evolve over time. The Broker exposes the collections to the users. The mipmip client is a portable graphical user interface, using 3D technology to browse and view high-resolution images.
