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
