Created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89552 to keep track of this.
CCing the multimedia people, they are probably interested in this too.

I'm generating a multiresolution TIF image for every file that is
being requested (implicitly this is a "tile set"). There is no
integration. The labs instance pulls the full res images via http. The
processing is done with VIPS, which is what the WMF servers are using
as well nowadays. I'd guess there would be non-trivial costs, but not
orders of magnitude more than we already handle. The tool is currently
strictly for incrementally streaming high resolution images. It might
make sense to integrate it with the image annotator gadget and have
the annotation appear in the zoomed view as well. I'm using the IIP
Javascript and Flash clients. There really wasn't much to "implement"
for me. The whole work was wrapping the downloading and processing in
an AJAXy way.

Nice!
So how integrated is the hosting for that with the rest of Commons?
I imagine it's managing its own tileset? But is that similar to what eg
MapWarper needs to do? Does it make sense to try to add an IIIF interface
provision layer to Commons as core functionality, for all such services?
(Would that risk creating horrible potential additional processing costs for
the Commons hardware to cope with?)
Also, how much of the IIIF spec are you implementing? Just the tileserving?
Or the full ability to be ableto request crops, rotations, overlays,
annotations, etc ?
Really interested.
Thanks,
James.

My zoomviewer for commons is based on IIF (check it out on File:Chicago.

Hi,
I'm increasingly seeing IIIF (International Image Interoperability
Framework) as a standard for serving images from repositories,
tileservers,
etc -- especially for maps.
(eg Klokan offer an IIIF hosting service, and use it as part of the stack
for their Georeferencer; National Library of Wales for their map
projects,
etc.)
Are people aware of IIIF ?
Does it have advantages ?
In the medium term, would aiming for an IIIF-compatible interface to the
proposed Wikimaps tileserver, or even main Commons itself, make any sense
?
With the Structured Data initiative for Commons now in the works, does it
make sense to make sure that there are properties baked in for everything
that would be needed to support IIIF? Also, to provide for any
functionality that could potentially be exposed through IIIF?
I see that there are going to be quite a lot of Wikidata people at the
Europeana Tech meeting in Paris on Thursday and Friday this week; and
also
several presentations that will touch on IIIF.
Is it worth trying to put together a heads-up for Wikidata people coming
to this cold, as a background briefing on IIIF, and why these
talks/posters
might be interesting to them?
As people with much more map experience than me, can I therefore ask
people on this list what they think of IIIF, and whether it is worth
getting on to our radar?
Thanks,
James.
