Seventh IIIF Friday on 14 October
How do you display IIIF images and manifests in a single viewer interface? We’ll tell you more about this at the new IIIF Friday. On 14 October, we’re organising the seventh edition in partnership with the Flemish Art Collection (VKC), Ghent University Library and Bruges Public Library (link in Dutch). Our IIIF Fridays are aimed at informing the sector about image exchange applications and encouraging the use of IIIF.
What?
The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) is a standard that makes it easier to exchange images between different systems. This framework consists of four APIs and has been drawn up by a consortium of university libraries, heritage institutions, museums and software companies. It provides a solution to the challenge of exchanging images between different systems, which is much easier if your image server satisfies the IIIF specifications.
Programme
This edition of IIIF Friday will focus on IIIF viewers, which allow you to open images and manifests from one or more digital collections in a single viewer interface, and are particularly useful for comparison and research purposes.
Following a brief introduction, we give the floor to three speakers – each explaining a different viewer:
14.00-14.20: we start with an introduction to provide a brief explanation about the different viewers.
14.20-14.40: TIFY.
14.40-15.00: Universal Viewer.
15.00-15.20: Mirador.
We round things off by answering your questions in a brief Q&A session.
Sarah Eloy (Ghent University Library) will host the event. The introduction will be in Dutch with the presentations in English.

When and where?
The seventh edition will again take place online, this time on Friday 14 October, 14.00-15.30.
