Meeting Notes

• 4Science (Andrea)
  • 4Science has a goal to release their DSpace/IIIF module as open source.  They are seeking development and funding partners to make that feasible.
  • The current solution implements the IIIF Image API, the IIIF Presentation API, the IIIF Search API.  Integration of the IIIF Authentication API is in progress. 
    • The authentication API could be used to require authentication in order to perform a deep zoom of an image.
  • The UV (universal viewer) has been the easiest and most general purpose viewer to integrate.
    • UV: supports images, video, 3D objects
    • Mirador: supports images only
  • The module uses bitstream metadata (DSpace metadata for all objects) to populate a canvas-level metadata within a manifest

    • https://dspace-glam.4science.it/explore?bitstream_id=2042&handle=1234/25&provider=iiif-image#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0&xywh=-1327%2C-149%2C4661%2C2969

    • if you open the more information you will see the metadata from the item and at the bottom some metadata from the canvas/bitstream Page

• Edinburg (Claire and Scott)
  • 30,000 images have been loaded into the Luna Image server.  TIF files are converted into JP2 and JPG files)
    • Also, 30 digitized rare books
  • Manifests are stored in DSpace
    • DSpace provides persistent ids for objects.
  • Skylight (from U of Auckland) searches on top of DSpace.  Open Seadragon integrated as well.
  • Annotations are compiled using the Open Annotation Model 
    • This is a separate W3C standard allowing for the creation of a hierarchy of annotations
  • Note from the IIIF conference: manifest files need to be provided over https in order to play with with IIIF viewers
  • Many IIIF tools can be deployed/hosted for free.  
    • The real cost of using IIIF is in creating/hosting derivative images
    • ??? license needed
• UCLA (Kevin and Hardy)
  • Developed a custom image server that can reference objects in DSpace or Fedora
  • Permits greater control of generated derivative objects
  • 3 billion image times exist in AWS storage
  • Exploring options for 3D objects in DSpace
• Georgetown (Suzanne and Terry)

Next Steps

• Schedule another conversation in 2 months.
  • Tentative plan will be for 1500 UTC, but open to a later meeting time to accommodate additional time zones
• Encourage additional participation in this sub group at the Open Repositories conferene
• Potential break out conversation at the IIIF meeting in Toronto in October 2017
• Document IIIF use cases
• Share use cases and architectural ideas with the DSpace 7 development teams
