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.
I will demonstrate the Broken Books application, a Mirador-based model for reconstructing dismembered medieval manuscripts. The application pulls IIIF-compliant images from multiple servers into the shared canvas when called for, presenting them in the correct order with associated meta-data. Broken Books was developed by Debra Cashion and Bryan Habersberger at St. Louis University, and my work is serving as a test-case.
