IIIF

IIIF is widely used and extremely handy; we should find ways to better integrate with it and provide IIIF options to organizations that want to share their images across the wikiverse.

Integration with Wikimedia

It is a long-standing community request to integrate IIIF into Mediawiki, and with Commons in particular.

Resources

• Implement IIIF support on Wikimedia Commons in relation with Structured Data on Commons - task T173346
• commons:Commons:International_Image_Interoperability_Framework
• IIIF:Wikimedia Touchpoints and Ambassadors - shared Google Document with IIIF collaborators

Recent projects and proposals

Project ideas:

• Perennial feature requests!
• Commons generally: Structured data on Commons
• GLAM: WM-SV GLAM projects
  • Spin up IIIF image servers for any GLAM institution that doesn't have their own (as a step towards Commons + Wikidata integration)
  • Better IIIF-IPFS integration

• Mediawiki - potential IIIF API
  • Notes from an IIIF Editor on integration options

Notes from recent discussions about IIIF projects:

• Etherpad from 2020 chat
• WM GLAM office hours, 9/2020
