IIIF Search API
IIIF Authentication
• Login – The user will be required to log in using a separate window with
a UI provided by an external authentication system.
• Click through – The user will be required to click a button within the client using
content provided in the service description.
• Kiosk– The user will not be required to interact with an authentication
system, the client is expected to use the access cookie service automatically.
• External– The user is expected to have already acquired the appropriate
cookie, and the access cookie service will not be used at all.
Joining the Community
• Iiif-discuss and slack• Fortnightly telephone calls• Interest groups; Newspapers, Manuscripts,
Museums and Software developers • Technical groups; Audio/Visual and Discovery• Two meetings a year 1 in Europe 1 in US or
Canada – Next meeting in Rome next week - Conference– Workshop meeting - Toronto
• Implement IIIF
Cynefin
cynefin.archiveswales.org.uk
New Catalogue!
• (December 2015)• ExLibris - Primo and Alma
• http://discover.library.wales
• Redevelop our viewers– Replace lots of XSL METS Viewers with one viewer– Access through the Universal Viewer– Over 200,000 manifests– Over 1,109,768 images
http://discover.library.wales
Journals
• Two projects– JISC funded Modern Welsh Journals
• 20th Century • 50 Titles• Articles• In copyright
– Historical Journals• 19th Century• 455 Titles• No Articles• Around 1 million pages
• Developing on top of IIIF– Sitemap of Journal titles– Indexing IIIF Manifests and Collections and EDM– Indexing Annotation Lists to produce Search API
Reuse
• Reuse for research
• Reuse to enable better discovery
Interoperable Collections
http://stanford.io/1PW789d
Aggregators
Content Specific Aggregators
https://dev.musiclibs.net/?q=wales
Newspapers
• IIIF Collections, Manifests and annotation lists (pre 1890)• http://dev.llgc.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=IIIF_Newspapers• IIIF Search API soon• Machine learning
– Welsh Scientists– Crimes
• Data Challenges:– http://dev.llgc.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Data_Challenges– Welsh Ships– Image analysis of Cynefin Maps
Crowdsourcing
• Engage people with our collections• Make items more discoverable
• Mostly with in person volunteers– Started with spreadsheets
• Aberystywth Shipping Records• Difficult to make data available
– Book of Remembrance – Wales at War– Aberystwyth Student Records
• Some crowd sourced:– Cynefin– Wales 1900
Simple Annotation Server
• https://github.com/glenrobson/SimpleAnnotationServer
• Stores IIIF Annotations
• Includes instructions on editing Newspaper OCR
http://hdl.handle.net/10107/4642022
Lessons
• Mostly project funded• Need a generic extensible solution• Need to annotate about the image not always inside
the image.• Move from project to program• Open source
• Went out to Tender– Digiarti were successful– Prototype end of March– Delivery end of June
