Abstract:

This talk will report on current services and projects and future developments at the Göttingen State and University Library (SUB) and Göttingen University around IIIF.

SUB supports the core IIIF-APIs in various image-based digital libraries to provide world-wide interoperability and also develops tools to present digitized objects from different repositories along with their metadata. We will spotlight some of the activities of SUB and the Göttingen University:

– Tool development: Tify as lightweight, JavaScript-based IIIF document viewer, optimised for mobile devices

– IIIF-compliant repositories: GDZ Digital library for historical resources, Academic collections of the Göttingen University, DARIAH-DE Repository for research data, TextGrid Repository for primary textual data

– Use of IIIF in current research projects and future plans

Topics:

• IIIF Implementation Spectrum: large-scale or small-scale projects
