IIIF Presentation API

In the previous session we discussed the Image API and the three different methods of implementing:

  • IIIF using hosting iiifhosting.com (National Museum of Sweden)
  • IIIF using a commercial supplier - Luna (University of Edinburgh)
  • IIIF using open source tools (IIPImage)

The recording of this call is available here.

The next step is to introduce the Presentation API. The presentation API allows you to tie IIIF Images together to create a digital presentation of the resource. It allows you to:

  • Link multiple images in a particular order e.g. a Book, Newspaper or Manuscript
  • Add Basic descriptive Metadata
  • Add Rights information
  • Link to other digital objects
  • Add Table of Contents etc.
  • Based on the linked data vocabulary Shared Canvas

In the presentation we looked at the following manifest:

http://dams.llgc.org.uk/iiif/2.0/4642022/manifest.json

This has examples of Structures, Sequences and Canvases. Note it is a version 2.0 manifest.
