Micro note: today I learned that "IIIF" is the International Image Interoperability Framework [1], a standardized way of, uh, delivering images over the web. You pronounce it "triple-aye-eff" (which seems like a failure of tradition, since I2C is "aye-squared-see" then IIIF should be "aye-cubed-eff", right).

- dmje 5y agoYes :-) There was me making assumptions about my audience after posting about knowing your audience... IIIF is a cool approach that is growing in popularity in cultural heritage, the field I work in. The IIIF main site [1] is a bit baffling, but the long and short is it allows for reusable media that does nice stuff like zooms, pagination, commenting, etc. An "IIIF manifest" (examples: [2]) is just some json, which means you can grab IIIF media and re-use it in a viewer wherever you want to. The demo page [3] has a bunch of links.

- pbronez 5y agooh hey that's pretty cool. I was just wondering what the best way would be to store a bunch of image annotations in a really accessible way. Will dig deeper.
