IIIF is an emerging standard for sharing digital images around the web. The core standard covers both the technical image metadata as well as the structural metadata for image viewing. Additionally, IIIF can facilitate in-content searching, image access, and a mechanism to make your content more discoverable on the Web. This workshop will cover a variety of topics starting out with a high-level overview of the IIIF ecosystem in 2020. This will cover the growth of the IIIF Community and adoption of the APIs, status of the APIs, and finally new tools/service to work with IIIF materials. In the second section we will cover how to deploy IIIF support, either through vendor support of “rolling your own” IIIF support. The final section will dig into more detail on how to deploy your own IIIF support. We will do a hands-on walkthrough on how to deploy an IIIF image server, how to use/interact with the IIIF Image API, and finally how to build IIIF Manifests for your images to unlock the potentials of the IIIF Presentation API.
Attendees of the workshop should be able to go back to their institutions with a better understanding of the current state of IIIF, being able to communication the value proposition to administrators. Attendees will learn how to integrate IIIF support at their institution, either using current vendor solutions or deploying IIIF support locally. Finally, attendees will better understand what tools are needed to locally support IIIF integration
