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 demo will briefly explore recent development by the University of Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania’s Dot Porter, of the manuscript collation visualization tool, Viscoll. Phase one of the project is to develop a Viscoll web application based on the existing .xslt tool could handle idiosyncratic manuscript construction and address various user needs. Phase two will be integrating IIIF manifests with the tool to allow users to view visualizations alongside corresponding images. The goal is to create an interactive environment for codicological study which is highly reflective of scholars’ needs and integrated with IIIF standards and software. The demo will explore both the developmental approach and the use case it aims to address.
