Introduction to IIIF
October 8, 11:00 – 12:00 EST
Instructor: Josh Hadro, Managing Director of the International Image Interoperability
Framework (IIIF) Consortium
This session will cover the basics of IIIF technology and the current state of development on the specifications, as well as a number of use cases ranging from
fun audience engagement tools to bleeding edge uses of the technology in interaction design.
IIIF is a community-driven set of technologies developed by world-leading research, national and state libraries, archives, museums, companies, and image repositories
committed to providing access to high quality digitized resources. Currently, there are four primary IIIF specifications for flexible image delivery, presentation, authentication, and search-within functionality, with more specifications in draft form. Real
world examples in this session will cover the possibilities unlocked by IIIF tools, from museum-like guided image annotation tours to crowd-sourcing examples and beyond.
