  • EF Hosted The Hague 2016 technical meeting
  • EF Presented at: Ghent & Amsterdam outreach meetings, The Hague technical meeting, Vatican, Edinburgh, Göttingen and in several IIIF events organized in the community (Paris, Bern)
  • EF involved in IIIF Newspapers, Text Granularity, and Discovery groups (co-chairing IIIF Discovery group)
  • EF involved in Technical Review Committee
  • EF was part of the Program Committee of IIIF Conference in Washington (2018) and Göttingen (2019)
  • EF and Sound and Vision were involved in IIIF A/V group
  • EF should probably contribute some use case to the Discovery4Humans group, as Europeana can be considered a platform to discover IIIF content

Collections with IIIF content in Europeana

Providers not using the EDM IIIF profile, displayed thanks to 'hacks' on top of the data

  • BnF
  • Bodleian Library
  • ONB? (David: Only their newspapers. We contacted them and they said they only have IIIF for their newspapers. VC @David they had mentioned also a postcard collection. )
  • Wellcome
  • National Library of Wales (certain datasets)
  • The Europeana Newspapers partners using the Europeana Shared Image Service (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Hamburg State Library, Teßmann Library, National Library of Estonia, National Library of Latvia, National Library of Luxembourg, National Library of Finland, University of Belgrade, and National Library of Poland)
  • Bavarian State Library ? https://iiif.digitale-sammlungen.de

IIIF advocacy for Europeana providers

Europeana motivations to support rich media content are mostly described in the Europeana Publishing Framework

The 2018 version of Europeana Publishing Guide (http://pro.europeana.eu/publication/publication-policy) has encouraged provision of IIIF: https://basecamp.com/1768384/projects/1000684/messages/66638642, including IIIF in tier 2 content.

IIIF sessions/workshops at Europeana events:

In 2020 A new IIIF x Europeana working group (https://pro.europeana.eu/project/iiif-europeana-working-group) has been launched, where EF has presented.

Infrastructure: displaying IIIF in Europeana

see http://labs.europeana.eu/blog/building-a-rich-media-experience-with-the-europeana-api-and-iiif

Infrastructure: Europeana Shared Image Service (IIIF) based on the Europeana Cloud infrastructure

The service allows upload to batches of images via a REST-API, conversion to JPEG2000 and publication of the images compliant with the IIIF Image API. The service API documentation is available. 

Currently the service is in internal use only, used to serve images of newspapers, see e.g. http://www.europeana.eu/portal/en/record/9200355/BibliographicResource_3000119062998.html

Further development of this service is currently on hold and will be until July 2017.

The following libraries of Europeana Newspapers have their scans in the service:
Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Hamburg State Library, Teßmann Library, National Library of Estonia, National Library of Latvia, National Library of Luxembourg, National Library of Finland, University of Belgrade, and National Library of Poland

Infrastructure: Discovery and harvesting of IIIF resources

First experiments:

Contributions to IIIF Discovery Group:

The earlier investigations on including a component in Metis to harvest IIIF manifests and ingesting EDM metadata through them, reached a more mature state. A prototype as been tested successfully by the DPS Team.
A guide for IIIF havesting by the DPS team was prepared (listed in the previous point) 
Future integration into METIS will be conducted to the plans of the METIS team. It has been included in the DSI-4 Aggregation strategy deliverable

Experiments have been made on searching IIIF resources for Europeana objects in Wikidata: https://test-solr-mongo.eanadev.org/share/wikidata-iiif-web-resources/2019-04-10_IIIF-enrichment/

NB: pilots could be done with relevant members of the Discovery group
