International Image Interoperability Framework
Meeting2, 1
I wanted to share this meeting invitation with the CNI community.
The Image Interoberability Framework is gaining a lot of traction
lately, and we will also have coverage of the initiative at our
upcoming CNI member meeting in DC later in December. My apologies for
the late posting, but I hope some CNI-announce subscribers will still
find this helpful.

Subject: Invitation to IIIF: Access to the World's Images
- 8 December 2015
You are warmly invited to a one day event in Ghent, Belgium,
hosted by the International Image Interoperability Framework community
( http://iiif.io/) and Ghent University
Library ( http://lib.ugent.be/),
describing the power and potential of interoperable image delivery
over the Web.
On Tuesday, 8 December 2015, a day-long event will showcase how
institutions are leveraging IIIF to reduce total cost and time to
deploy image delivery solutions, while simultaneously improving
end user experience with a new host of rich and dynamic features.
It will also highlight how to participate in this growing
movement to take advantage of the common framework.
This event will be valuable for organizational decision
makers, repository and collection managers, software engineers;
for cultural heritage or STEM (science / technology / engineering
/ medicine) institutions; or for anyone engaged with image-based
resources on the Web.
There will be many opportunities for discussion, questions
and networking throughout the day with new and existing partners
including
national libraries, top tier research institutions,
commercial providers and major aggregators. Participation is
also encouraged in the following related, co-located events happening
the same week:
Technical Workshop
This pre-event workshop will allow attendees who want to
implement IIIF locally (in either their repository or application) to
work with technical experts and existing implementers. The structure
will be an informal "hack-a-thon", with a chance to ask specific
questions on the APIs, their use and their
implementation.
Time: Monday 7th, 1:30 - 4:30 PM
IIIF Community Roundtable
This event will start with a community round-table of
ongoing efforts and progress in the IIIF space, including both demos
and reports. The community will also assess existing priorities
and progress towards them, and affirm future work for the coming 12
months. In the afternoon discuss the proposed technical changes for
the specifications towards ratification of the next versions of the
APIs.
Time: Wednesday 9th, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Mirador Contributors Group
Mirador is one of
the most fully featured IIIF clients, with support for both the Image
and Presentation APIs and a comprehensive set of features. This
technical meeting is to discuss the current priorities towards a
roadmap of efforts, possible improvements to the codebase, and
processes for community ownership and development of the
product.
Time: Thursday 10th, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Newspaper Interest Group
The Newspaper Interest Group will is being convened to
discuss and provide support for adoption of the IIIF APIs within the
vibrant digital and digitized newspaper domain. All around the
world, newspaper content is being digitized and made available, and we
see IIIF as a technical cornerstone to ensure broad adoption, access
and reuse of the content. The meeting will set goals and
deliverables to align European and North American efforts in this
space.
Time: Thursday 10th, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Universal Viewer & Manifesto Interest
Group
The Universal
Viewer (UV) is a user-friendly viewer in use at a number of
national and research libraries. It features beta implementations of
the IIIF Auth and Search specifications as well as support for audio,
video and other formats. It is now built using Manifesto, a
Presentation API client library that can be used as the engine in
other viewers and servers. This meeting is for both contributors and
interested newcomers.
Time: Friday 11th, 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Unconference
Additional IIIF work on implementations, specifications,
use cases and requirements will take place outside of the working
group structure on both Thursday and Friday.
Time: Thursday 10th, 9:00 AM - 5 PM & Friday 11th,
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
We hope to see you there!
