Awesome International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF)

<img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/International_Image_Interoperability_Framework_logo.png" align="right" width="100">

A list of lists of awesome IIIF resources.

The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF - "triple-eye-eff") is a group of standard APIs around sharing and reuse of media. It is also a growing community of galleries, libraries, archives, museums, companies, and others who develop the standards and interoperable software implementations. Content includes helpful links around each of the standards, demonstrations of their use, and tutorials and presentations. The list is especially helpful for orienting new community members and developers.

More Resources

The lists below are a great place to start for inspiration and tooling, but they are certainly not complete!

If you have a link or a resource to add, you have a few options:

• check out the Contributing Guidelines linked just above and submit a pull request yourself if you're familiar with Github worflows
• open a new issue ticket mentioning the link or resource you want to add and some description, and the community may be able to help add it

Likewise, there are other ways to see how people are implementing IIIF.

• Github Topics page - This page will show you the Github repositories that self-identify as IIIF-related, with the most recently updated projects listed first.
• IIIF Community on Zenodo - A Zenodo community for gathering articles and data related to IIIF.

Standards

The IIIF community has developed several standards for interoperable web-based image delivery.

• Image API - Retrieves images from anywhere in the world and allows the user to select an area of the image and to resize, rotate, and edit the quality.
• Presentation API - Packages each image with its metadata so users know the origin, title of the image, and even what page of a book the image was from, likely in conjunction with the Image API.
• Content Search API - Perform search for text within or annotations related to digital objects.
• Authorization Flow API - Control and restrict access by creating a link to a user interface for logging in and services that provide credentials.
• Change Discovery API - Harvest any changes published by organizations that deliver digital objects.
• Content State API - Generate a very specific link to a particular view of an object, like a specific area on a particular page rotated at a certain angle.

IIIF Extensions

• navPlace Extension - This IIIF Presentation 3 API extension defines a new property, navPlace, which is defined by earthbound geographic coordinates in the form of GeoJSON-LD.
• Georeference Extension - This extension leverages Web Annotations to provide a pattern for georeferencing IIIF Presentation 3 API Canvases as well as Images served through the IIIF Image API, containing (historical) maps.
• Text Granularity Extension - This extension recommends a pattern for indicating the level of text granularity for an annotation related to optical character recognition (OCR) software, manual transcription, and existing digitized text.

Feedback is welcome on all IIIF Specifications, including draft versions and works-in-progress -- please send any feedback to iiif-discuss@googlegroups.com.
