Title [PPP] Publishing and Re-using Images: Introduction to the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF)
Description The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) is a set of open standards for the publication, manipulation and reuse of high-quality digital images across the web. These standards are widely adopted in libraries, archives, and collections and they guide best practices for image distribution. This submodule of the PPP course within the Digital Humanities Major Master program introduces participants to the basic concepts and workflows of IIIF, as well as ways to use it for their own projects. Through hands-on exercises and practical examples, participants will gain conceptual and technical insights into how IIIF supports the sustainable and interoperable use of digital images within the humanities. The submodule covers everything from image manipulation and annotation to publication via the UB IIIF server. While it is helpful to have some background in data management (e.g. the RDM I – III submodules within the DH program, offered by Open Science/UB), this is not a requirement.

Information on a bibliography will be communicated shortly before the workshop.
