The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) 2017 Conference in The Vatican is intended for a wide range of participants and interested parties, including digital image repository managers, content curators, software developers, scholars, and administrators at libraries, museums, cultural heritage institutions, software firms, and other organizations working with digital images and audio/visual materials. The conference will consist of two events with separate registration:
IIIF Conference, 7-9 June (3 days of plenary and parallel sessions). The pre-conference Mirador Viewer and Universal Viewer group meetings will take place on Monday, June 5, prior to the Showcase event and conference.
The TextGrid Repository is a repository build in common with a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) to support the needs and workflows in projects creating Digital Editions within diverse disciplines. Images published in the repository can be served via the IIIF image API, manifests are generated from provided METS/MODS or TEI files during the publish process. A second option for publishing (mostly TEI) data is offered by an interface between the VRE and an eXist-db that hosts a project specific website. Using the IIIF API these websites do not need to host the image data locally and a viewer can be integrated via iframe or a custom setup with any other suitable viewer. An example is given by the project on the notebooks of Theodor Fontane where collections published in the repository (https://fontane-nb.dariah.eu/mirador.html?n=D4) and views of single items (https://fontane-nb.dariah.eu/digilib/D04_003.jpg?m2) are referenced in visualized versions of the edition. Since the JSON format of Mirador bookmarks is interchangeable, links to single items within the manifests are created programmatically. In addition to this, the slightly modified Mirador viewer accepts canvasId given in URL parameter.
