Venue: Lecture Theatre, Weston Library, University of Oxford
Date: Monday 15 June, 2-4.30pm
Description:
Cultural heritage materials from research libraries, museums, and archives are
increasingly becoming available online. Users have moved from wanting to simply access materials online to wanting to use, develop and re-purpose them in ways that push the boundaries of research and open new avenues in teaching. TheInternational
Image Interoperability Framework (http://iiif.io)
is a community-driven, collaborative initiative committed to making these digital materials easily accessible and usable for scholars worldwide.
This lecture will explore the use of IIIF in an international context, and will
also describe the implementation of IIIF standards at the Bodleian Library.
Our main speaker will be Tom Cramer, who will give a lecture “IIIF:
The International Image Interoperability Framework Putting Images IN (Not Just ON) the Web for a New World of Possibilities”.
Matthew McGrattan will then talk about IIIF at the Bodleian Libraries, and Judith Siefring will present the
work of the Digital Manuscripts Toolkit project.
