Following the DSpace Dev meeting on Mar 15, 2017, this brainstorming page was created. The following people have expressed an interest
- Claire Knowles, University of Edinburgh
- Terrence W Brady, Georgetown University
- Hardy Pottinger, UCLA
Brainstorming Questions from Terry
- Would a IIIF server pull resources from DSpace, or does the server provide an alternative view of a DSpace item?
- Can a IIIF manifest be used to express relationships between bitstreams? If so, are all of those bitstreams part of one item?
- I understand that a IIIF server can work with dynamically generated tiles and pre-generated tiles. I assume that a DSpace integration would need to work with either option.
- We would be interested in providing a book reader view through IIIF.
- Currently, we store PDF bitstreams and use a JavaScript library to render the PDF as a book. These PDFs were generated from TIF files created during digitization.
- I presume that we would continue to offer a PDF bitstream for download AND we would generate image tiles from the source TIF files.
