This button can be used to open the image in the academic work environment. This manifest and accompanying software make the conversion from specific to general, and local to worldwide possible.Įvery IIIF image in Digital Collections has an Advanced Viewer button on the page. The IIIF community-developed software that can process data from this manifest and prepare the image for use. This describes the technical and functional specifications of the item.
In this way, not only images from the institution’s own collections can be displayed in one viewer, but digital images from other institutions as well, if they use IIIF. IIIF accomplishes this through an internationally agreed upon and open “Framework”. IIIF’s goal is to break down these institutional barriers, allowing images to be requested in a uniform manner, regardless of institutional origin. Worldwide, many image files are stored in local databases, at libraries, museums or other heritage institutions, only accessible via proprietary interfaces and applications.
