P–2P–2 Project Overview Create alternate interfaces to images For programmers (in SLV or outside) Prefiltered Copyright status Cultural sensitivity

P–3P–3 DigiTool already has APIs, right? Too complex Difficult to understand Even harder to use Not consistent Not focused the way we need them to be No filtering

P–4P–4 What new APIs can do Deliver image file in raw format No DigiTool viewer Direct access to parts of complex objects E.g. individual postcards in a catalogued set Augment DigiTool data Voyager fields Primo tags and reviews

P–5P–5 Design Goals Limited set of calls Consistent and simple syntax Program will handle all complexity Filter out images as required Access information not in any current API call Combination of calls to DigiTool and Primo

P–6P–6 Let’s See!
