IIIF: Interoperability of Image Content, Scholarship and Annotation
The IIIF community (http://iiif.io/) has designed and implemented systems that make it easy to interact with image-based cultural heritage data, enabling developers to build diverse and engaging client applications. This has generated a vibrant international community dedicated to interoperability between systems, allowing images and descriptions of cultural heritage objects and collections to be shared and integrated seamlessly across institutions in a variety of environments. This session will introduce the use cases, community and technical standards that are in use and being further refined, along with its use of the W3C Web Annotation specification as a fundamental driver and interoperability mechanism for scholarship and commentary about the resources.
