Check out the IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework)
Image API: http://iiif.io/ You can use an image server that supports
IIIF natively (e.g., Loris https://github.com/pulibrary/loris ) or a
translation shim (e..g, with Djatoka). There's client-side support in
OpenSeadragon, IIPMooViewer, etc.

Does anyone have a good solution to recommend for display of very large images
on the web? I'm thinking of something that supports pan and scan, as well as
loading only certain tiles for the current view to avoid loading an entire
giant image.
A URL to more info to learn about things would be another way of answering this
question, especially if it involves special server-side software. I'm not sure
where to begin. Googling around I can't find any clearly good solutions.
Has anyone done this before and been happy with a solution?
Thanks for any info!
