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.
A quick look at how we’re using IIIF and W3C Annotations in our work for The Royal Society and the Indigenous Digital Archive to produce engaging, user-driven web sites. These projects have different visual appearances and show very different material. Our UX work has shown us how to drive these different experiences using the same underlying standards. We use the combination of tagging and IIIF-aware search to aggregate images and text by topic, providing multiple routes to discover the same content.
