  Use Cases • TheLibrary: An updated page viewer for the Digital Repository Service – with smooth zoom/pan, 2 page view, etc. • HarvardX: Embedded, annotated display of Harvard Library images in HarvardX courses delivered on the edX platform • Canvas course platform: Display and comparison of Library and faculty-uploaded images in on-campus courses web sites • Harvard Art Museums: Create online exhibits and digital tours with museum image content from the digital repository
• 5.
  IIIF – tothe rescue • A common API • Opens Harvard library digital content for reuse over the Web • Allows Harvard to reuse external content • ** Breaks down silos within Harvard, and enables reuse of content
• 6.
  Mirador – aIIIF enabled image viewer for the university

  Metadata (Titles, Authors, Subjects, etc.) Digital Images Related Authorities Names,Places Annotations & Transcriptions IIIF Presentation API IIIF Image API Linked Open Data Open Annotation OPEN APIs – Harvard entities can reuse and embed each others content • Library • Canvas/edX Course • Museum TMS Databases • Library • Course Image Sets • Museums • Linked Data for Libraries • CATCH annotation store D a t a s o u r c e s

  Annotations – afurther opportunity The International Image Interoperability Framework Now • Enhance teaching through faculty commentary • Enhance learning through student discussions • Record private observations Future • Enhance research through collaborative annotation • On manuscripts for textual criticism • On images of art objects for conservation and publication • On collections of visual materials to create a research corpus

  Harvard Museums The InternationalImage Interoperability Framework Goals – Enhance desire to view physical objects – Expand options for comparative images in digital tours platform – Prove museums data is interoperable Future – 3D object viewing – 3D object virtual reconstruction – Viewing of complex living documents like curatorial object files and archives

  So now… • “TheBook” is live on edX using images from the library digital repository • The library IIIF service exposes millions of images – http://ids.lib.harvard.edu/ids/iiif/5981214/0,0,1200,1200/full/full/native.jpg • The library has a new book viewer for the digital repository – http://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:5981093$7b • Faculty and teaching staff staff can upload, curate, share, and display IIIF-compliant images in their online and residential courses The Book: Histories Across Time and Space Drawing on the rich collections of Harvard’s libraries and museums, learners are invited to explore the book not simply as a container of content, but as a meaningful physical object that has shaped the way we understand the world around us
• 15.
  And it’s beingmore widely adopted • HarvardX and Harvard’s Academic Technology Group – Are developing additional LTI image display and annotation tools for use in the Canvas and edX course platforms • The Harvard Art Museums – have deployed a beta of IIIF for image access and viewing and have embedded Mirador in a digital tour builder platform
