IIIF & Beyond
Peter Clarke
UCD Digital Library
International Image Interoperability Framework
(pronounced “Triple-Eye-Eff”)
A Community
that develops Shared APIs,
implements them in Software,
and exposes interoperable Content
What libraries
want
● Zoom and alter image attributes
● Copy, Download, Save, Share
● Compare images (near and far)
● Annotate, transcribe, translate, and share
information
● Search within an image or set or images
for associated text (OCR, annotations)
● Fast and (almost?) free
● Preservation standards
● Retain control of images

Why use IIIF?
● IIIF shifts the focus from library standards to web standards.
● IIIF provides a framework for interoperability with other frameworks that encourage sharing and
linking, e.g. ResourceSync.
● IIIF helps libraries, museums, etc. shift attention from administrative uses of interoperability (OAI-
PMH, OAI-CORE etc.) to end-user empowerment in working with digital cultural heritage on the web.
Further Development at UCD
● Crowdsourced transcriptions and translations
● Audio-visual collections (IIIF-AV)
● Annotations
● Search API
● Authentication API
