What is the Difference Between a Database and an Image Viewer?
Although some image viewers have database capabilities (e.g. IPRO), in general databases hold the information about the images (e.g., coding and OCR) while image viewers permit the end user to view, annotate, and print images located by database searching. Some litigation support programs have both database and image viewer modules (e.g., Summation), while others work in tandem (e.g., Concordance and Opticon).
