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.
Erwin Panofsky’s 1939 seminal work 'Studies in Iconology' describes a three-stage approach to the iconographic analysis of art images: natural – a description of the visual evidence; conventional – an interpretation of the symbols, allusions, topics and themes; and intrinsic – a wider analysis of the cultural and historical context. This lightning talk will demonstrate interactive learning applications that use semantic web technologies to model Panofsky’s analytical methodology. The talk will use examples from a number of specific pilot studies developed using the Linked Canvas software application, including studies by Bryn Mawr College in Philadelphia, and Wuhan University in China.
