Announcement sent to CU-LIB
The Visual Resources Working Group (VRWG) is pleased to present:
What is IIIF and how will it impact our image delivery systems at Cornell?
Thursday, January 22 in Olin 106g
IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) has the following goals:
- To give scholars an unprecedented level of uniform and rich access to image-based resources hosted around the world.
- To define a set of common application programming interfaces that support interoperability between image repositories.
- To develop, cultivate and document shared technologies, such as image servers and web clients that provide a world-class user experience in viewing, comparing, manipulating and annotating images.
Simeon Warner will discuss the current state and likely future of IIIF (http://iiif.io/about.html). Artstor will be implementing IIIF so it will be one of the APIs through which a significant portion of our content will be available.
Simeon will provide a general IIIF introduction, some comments on how it applies to the Cornell environment (Artstor, Spotlight and Hydra, in particular), and give some demonstrations. Danielle Mericle and Steven Folsom are leading efforts to use Artstor images via Spotlight, and they will spend some time discussing image delivery.
