Images are fundamental information carriers
for cultural heritage

Yet, we hear the following
from research & memory
organizations….

I am locked into my image
delivery software

I need a newer, faster image server
(and I can’t spend much time or money on it)

I want deep zoom
(on mobile)

I want to allow users to visually
compare objects in the collection…

…with objects from
other collections

and regions of those images
I want to make it easy for my users to
cite and share my images

I want to allow visitors to annotate
my images online

I want to allow embedding of my
images in blogs and web pages

... without losing control of them

And I shouldn’t have to
invent any of it.

In short, digital image delivery is…
…too hard
…too slow
…too expensive
…too disjointed
…too ugly
…and we all suffer because of it.

There is a better way...

IIIF Vision
Create a global framework by which image-based
resources (images, books, maps, scrolls, manuscripts, musical
scores, etc.)
…from participating institution can be
delivered in a standard way
…via compatible image server
…for display, manipulation and
annotation in application,
…to user on the Web.

IIIF Vision, continued
• with of image-based
resources
• backed by a consortium of
• supported by a rich and growing suite of
• incorporating the
, and

Interoperability
• Technology
• Context
• Space
• Time
• Users

So What Is IIIF?

A Community
that develops Shared APIs,
implements them in Software,
and exposes interoperable Content

The IIIF Consortium
Whereas interoperable technology for digital delivery of
image-based resources is fundamental to research,
scholarship and the transmission of cultural knowledge,
…the undersigned institutions hereby agree to establish
and manage the International Image Interoperability
Framework Consortium (IIIFC).

A world of silos & duplication
• Every site a silo ( no interoperability)
• Every app a one-off (overhead to code and keep)
• Every user forced to cope ( many UIs, little
integration)

APIs enable reuse

APIs -> Framework -> Ecosystem

“get pixels” via a
simple, RESTful,
web service
Just enough metadata to
drive a remote viewing
experience
Image API Presentation API
IIIF: Two Core APIs

Image Delivery API
http://iiif.io/api/image/2.0/

Presentation API
http://iiif.io/api/presentation/2.0/
• Structure
– Collection, Item, Sequence,
Parts
• Properties
– Labels, description, license,
attribution, links

• Developed out of the Digital Manuscript Interop Work
• Provides a “lingua franca” for modelling image & text-
based digital resources
• Based on Linked Data: Web and annotation-friendly!
Shared Canvas Data Model

Distinct Concerns
Find, Use,
Analyze, Annotate
Want: Mix &
Match, Best of
Breed
Scholars
Tool
Makers
Repositories
Build useful
tools and apps
Want: Users &

Host, Preserve (and Enrich) Resources
Want: Use of Resources, Enriching

What's in it for Me?

1.) Rich Image Delivery
Fast, rich zoom & pan delivery of images, with
options for size, scale, region of interest, rotation,
quality and format.
2.) Plug and Play Software
Use any IIIF-compatible software for viewing,
comparing and manipulating images from any IIIF-
compatible site. Swap parts of the stack at any time,
or run multiple components in parallel at once.
Benefits

3.) Publish Once, Reuse Often
Deliver images from your own site for manifold
uses; host a single copy and let others embed.
Obviate the need to transfer images to other for
local loading, processing or delivery.
4.) Remix Content
Assemble and use image-based resources from
across the Web, regardless of source. Compare
pages, build an exhibit, or create a virtual collection
of items from different sites.
Benefits

5.) Cite & Share
IIIF APIs give long-term, portable views onto images
or any regions of an image. Cite an image with
confidence, or share it for reference by others—or
yourself in a different environment.
6.) Annotation-friendly
Native compatibility with the W3C annotation
working group’s model, Open Annotation. Comment
on, transcribe, mark up and more any image-based
resource using the Web’s architecture.
Benefits

7.) Support for Attribution & Access Control
Built in API calls support attribution and access
control.
8.) Join a Global Network
Join a worldwide network of image suppliers making
content available in a common framework. Tap a
growing suite of software tools and platforms.
Maximize the use of your images on the Web. Unlock
new potential with interoperability.
Benefits

1) Rich image delivery
2) Plug and play server and client software
3) Publish once, reuse often
4) Remix content from others
5) Cite and share
6) Annotation-friendly
7) Support for attribution and access control
8) Join a global network
Benefits

Why IIIF (in 140 Characters or Less)

What Is an Interoperable Resource?
• Discoverable
• Viewable via APIs
• Interactive and Manipulable
(for tools, analytics)
• Citable / Shareable
• Mash Up-able
• Annotation-ready
• With attribution, license and links
