IIIF Ghent meetings Dec 7-11 in Ghent Belgium Day1 - introductory workshop on IIIFpecificatons with implementation guidance (Session notes)Session notes Day2 – Public event - overview of IIIF, introduction to the framework and its APIs, case studies from adopters, demonstration of several IIIF-related software packages (Agenda with linked presentations)Agenda with linked presentations Day3 - community roundtable and unconference including demonstrations of new implementations and requirements, detailed review of upcoming updates to the technical specifications, and a straw poll of the most important areas of focus for 2016 as well as exploratory framing of how discovery of IIIF resources may work. community roundtable and unconference Day 4 and 5 - extended sessions on… – Newspapers and IIIF Newspapers and IIIF – Mirador – the Universal Viewer a two-day meeting on medieval & renaissance manuscripts a meeting of the IIIF Consortium’s Executive Committee & Editors Group.

17. Notes The IIIF APIs are expected to see releases in 2016 – the Image and Presentation API are expected to see minor changes in versions 2.1 of each in early 2016 – two new APIs, Authentication and Search Within, are anticipated for 0.9 release in May 2016. Two new interest groups formed for applying IIIF to specific content types. – Newspapers Interest Group will begin calls in January of 2016, convened by Karen Estlund (Penn State) and Alistair Dunning (Europeana). – Medieval / Renaissance Manuscripts, convened by Ben Albritton (Stanford). Monthly calls, including a charter and call for participation, will begin in early 2016.

18. Notes Future IIIF work priorities identified and prioritized (score in paranthesis) by those in attendance included… – extending the IIIF APIs to include full CRUD operations via REST (30) – support for non-image content (23) – discovery of IIIF resources (23) – identifying best practices for linking, modeling, versioning (16) – improvements to IIIF documentation, website, training and support for new adopters (16) – enhancements to existing APIs (~15) – better description of IIIF clients (5)

19. Notes Demonstrations of new or prospective IIIF-compatible software included: – Diva.js, document viewer – Cantus Ultimus, optical music recognition project – Rosetta, the Ex Libris digital preservation tool, with a IIIF viewer Rosetta – Shimmy, a tool for generating presentation API manifests Shimmy – Berlin State Library Berlin State Library – Qatar Digital Library – Fragmentarium, a Swiss project to re-assemble manuscript leaves from fragments – Digital Bodleian, Oxford’s IIIF-enabled digital collections viewer (including drag and drop) Digital Bodleian – Harvard’s digital library systems Harvard’s digital library systems – Freizo, developed at Westminster as a tool for scanning & annotating research notebooks – Codex Sinaitcus Codex Sinaitcus – Universal Viewer, including use of the IIIF Search API – Reconstructed manuscripts / rejoined collections and TEI annotations from the Biblissima projectmanuscriptsrejoined collections TEI annotationsBiblissima project

24. Newspaper Interest Group OCR Correction -Users correcting OCR (losing or not losing coords after transcription/correction) -Recognizing identity of annotator -Scholarly transcription vs Public transcription Annotation Use Cases OCR/transcription Edit – improve search and display – accessibility, usability – OCR training Comments user generated Hotspot linking Semantic tagging Article segmenter - article, illustrations, etc. Serialization Federated Search Aggregation vs Distributed Search IIIF registry needed to expose IIIF resources of type newspaper, perhaps with other attributes Need for discovery systems that point to collections, that may or may not have search services. Issues with both.
