The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) has seen rapid adoption by cultural institutions over the last few years. However, it can be bewildering to navigate the various specifications and software tools to get to the heart of the question “what’s in it for me?”.
In this workshop, aimed at newcomers to IIIF, we will show you how to firstly create your own IIIF content, and secondly to take advantage of the freely-available tools that can be used to present your images and descriptions online in a variety of radically ways.
Participants will gain a working knowledge of the core underpinnings of IIIF (image API, presentation API), as well as an appreciation of how these can be made directly useful in their own projects.
