• [$] IIIF: images and visual presentations for the web

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Fri Feb 27 06:40:08 2026
    The International Image Interoperability
    Framework, or IIIF ("triple-eye eff"), is a small set of standards that
    form a basis for serving, displaying, and reusing image data on the web. It consists of a number of API definitions that compose with each other to
    achieve a standard for providing, for example, presentations of
    high-resolution images at multiple zoom levels, as well as bundling multiple images
    together. Presentations may include metadata about details like authorship, dates, references to other representations of the same work, copyright information, bibliographic identifiers, etc. Presentations can be further grouped into collections, and metadata can be added in the form of transcriptions, annotations, or captions. IIIF is most popular with cultural-heritage organizations, such as libraries, universities, and
    archives.
