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
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
- 30,000 images have been loaded into the Luna Image server. TIF files are converted into JP2 and JPG files)
- UCLA (Kevin and Hardy)
- Developed a custom image server that can reference objects in DSpace or Fedora
- Permits greater control of generated derivative objects
- Millions of image tiles stored in AWS so images can be created up front, not on demand
- Exploring options for 3D objects within the Universal Viewer
- Georgetown (Suzanne and Terry)
- Prototyping underway using Cantaloupe to reference DSpace bitstreams
- Pass in a handle/bitstream sequence, retrieve a IIIF compliant image
- Experimenting with manifest creation
- Per meeting conversation, the UV is recommended for visualizing collections of manifests
- Questions about hosting IIIF viewers
- While a viewer does not need to be hosted, other participants are hosting viewers. Viewer hosting just requires hosting js components.
- Prototyping underway using Cantaloupe to reference DSpace bitstreams
Additional Resources
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

Some of my colleagues recently presented at the IIIF conference on the work we've been doing with IIIF at UCLA Library: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dfe4exN86dRC1kGpvUyZtW-_BhWC1ASX0-bmwnHcUBU/edit#slide=id.p
