The International Image Interoperability Framework
(http://lib.stanford.edu/iiif) is an initiative driven by several major
research and national libraries to enable the rich and robust delivery of
digital images through common interfaces, and to spur the development of open
source and commercial software solutions in this space.
The IIIF Working Group invites comment and feedback on a proposed API for the
the delivery of images via a standard http request. The full specification can
be found at:
http://library.stanford.edu/iiif/image-api
The IIIF Image API specifies a web service that returns an image in response to
a standard http or https request. The URL can specify the region, size,
rotation, quality characteristics and format of the requested image. A URL can
also be constructed to request basic technical information about the image to
support client applications.
The IIIF Image API was conceived of to facilitate systematic reuse of image
resources, and enable their delivery through a diversity of software
applications and environments, regardless of underlying technology platforms.
The API is designed to be adoptable by any image repository or service
provider, and can be used to retrieve static images in response to a properly
constructed URL. We invite you to read this specification and provide us
critical feedback.
Please send feedback to iiif-feedb...@googlegroups.com by June 22, 2012.
Once all feedback is reviewed and incorporated, we will release the
specification for adoption.
If you would like to follow future IIIF-related developments, you may be
interested in joining the initiative's announcements email list
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/iiif-announce.
If you would like to participate in IIIF's development, and/or implement or
consume the API for your image repository or image delivery software, we
encourage you to join the IIIF discussion email list
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/iiif-discuss.
With many thanks for your feedback,
The IIIF Working Group
