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 presentation will start with the current status of the work at Europeana in discovery of IIIF cultural heritage resources, with the particular focus of metadata aggregation. It will cover the ongoing research activities and the operational procedures for ingestion of IIIF resources.
