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 talk will report on two projects at the Vatican Library: In May 2016 the Vatican Libraries migrated their digitized manuscripts to a new system, powered by NTT Data, compliant with the standards of the IIIF; In October 2016 a 3-year Mellon-funded project started activities, focused on IIIF annotations. Paola Manoni (the Vatican Library) and Hiroshi Sugino (NTT Data) will share their experience.
