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.
This talk will briefly explore the University of Toronto’s idea for “IIIF To Go”, a product designed to lower the technical barrier to entry for non-IIIF institutions of all sizes. It will explore the defining elements to be included as well as software recommendations to support low-barrier wide adoption of IIIF, sample IIIF-compliant content and the basic IIIF recipe-style activities most helpful in guiding new adopters to an understanding of its capabilities. Our work is informed by consultation with IIIF community members as well as use cases drawn from surveys and interviews with both adopters and non-adopters of IIIF technology.
