This section includes practical guides and access to training resources and tools for partners that want to prepare IIIF-compliant content and metadata for later ingestion to Europeana.

Here you will find tools and courses developed by Europeana aggregators and available for further use by other aggregators or content providers. You will also be provided with a collection of important information pages on the IIIF and a separate FAQ section for Europeana aggregators.

1 Image preparation for IIIF

Optimal use of the IIIF standard in image repositories requires the presence of a specific system environment and an appropriate image format.

This means that the initial start consists of preparing the image content to be IIIF-compliant (green part of the graphic below). If you afterwards want to provide IIIF images to portals like Europeana, you also need to update and create metadata that is IIIF-compliant in a subsequent process (blue part of the graphic below).
