Technology, Community & Consortium: DH 2025

Overview presentation on IIIF at the DH2025 panel, "A Decade of IIIF: Advancing Open Science and Accessibility through Interoperable Digital Heritage". Since 2015, the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) has implanted itself as a standard for the storage, sharing and manipulation of digital documents in the GLAM sector. In this panel, we shall hear from IIIF specialists and researchers from the DH community about how IIIF is used for research. Abstract Technology, Community, and Consortium: The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) Martin R. Kalfatovic, International Image Interoperability Framework Consortium (USA) This presentation will examine the formation of the International Image Interoperability Framework Consortium8 (IIIF-C) in 2015 to support the development and implementation of the standards (the Image API9, proposed in 2011 and published as Version 1.010 in 2012) that comprise the International Image Operability Framework (IIIF). The session will look forward to new developments in both the IIIF-C community and the IIIF standards themselves. The tenth anniversary of the IIIF-C in 2025 will see the organization grow to 70+ partners from the 11 that gathered at the Bodleian Library (Oxford University). Moving forward, the IIIF-C will build on the recently developed strategic framework to support the development, adoption, and implementation of the IIIF APIs to increasingly support a range of digital objects (images, audio/visual, 3D) and services around those objects. As the IIIF-C looks beyond 2025, new models of collaboration to strengthen the global IIIF community will be developed.
