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 presentation will cover examples of image annotation in IIIF, as well as the ability to search within annotations via the IIIF Content Search API, and protection of restricted image content through the IIIF Authentication API.
The IIIF Presentation API uses web annotations to convey additional information about images. Annotations can be text, other images, links to other resources, and other multi-media content. The IIIF Content Search API allows for searching within annotations. In addition, the IIIF Authentication API provides a mechanism for user authentication to view restricted images.
