What Opus is

Opus WorkFlow is Image Access software for creating and managing digitized materials for preservation, archives, and digital collections. It is designed for libraries, museums, and archives, and its workflow manager tracks objects through digitization stages while supporting project monitoring and worker scheduling. Image treatment can separate two-up scans and correct book curve, fan, gutter, skew, and backgrounds, with manual review and adjustment available. Opus captures hierarchical metadata through templates whose fields can be configured as required, optional, repeatable, or single-value. It archives raw scans, treated images, and captured metadata, and supports Open RAID storage and data migration. The software creates image and metadata derivatives in formats including TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PDF/A, PNG, GIF, rich text, ASCII, Unicode, audio, XML, METS, MODS, and Dublin Core, and can produce web-ready digital collections. It supports output and metadata for repositories including DSpace, CONTENTdm, Fedora, Re:Discovery, OAI-PMH, and OAI-ORE, plus third-party image editing software. Opus runs on Windows and supports all Scan2Net scanners and many TWAIN scanners. Pricing is available on request.
