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.

In an effort to provide users with a new way to browse and explore archival collections, the Getty Research Institute is building a prototype for a Digital Archival Navigation Application (DANA) that utilizes IIIF. However, because the majority of our collections are only partially digitized, and because of the idiosyncratic way that our digital items are created and deposited into our preservation system, creating IIIF presentation documents has proved to be a worthy challenge. After much discussion, we arrived at a solution for the prototype that involved merging metadata from EAD (in ArchivesSpace) and METS (in Rosetta) to generate IIIF collection and manifest documents representing the Harald Szeemann papers. This complex solution, which already makes heavy use of IIIF ranges, also opens up the possibility of allowing users to split existing digital objects, which are sometimes comprised of thousands of images, into more granular objects by allowing them to create additional ranges within DANA. This presentation will provide a detailed look at both the problem and the solution and invite feedback from the community.

How can institutions design platforms that not only describe digital objects, but overcome the barriers to access which may prevent international audiences from discovering them? Eric M. Johnson will share lessons learned from the Folger Shakespeare Library's recent efforts to develop a IIIF-compliant digital asset platform that serves as both repository and host for new applications, publications, and exhibitions.
