The 2.5% Commitment Initiative

December 14, 2017

David W. Lewis

The “2.5% Commitment” initiative grew out of a paper by the same name written by David Lewis. It argues that additional contributions from academic libraries are required for infrastructure to support the open scholarly commons and encourages academic libraries to contribute 2.5% of their total budget to support open infrastructure and content. Establishing a norm of this sort is required to overcome the collective action problem libraries currently face. The first step in establishing this norm is to define what counts as “open infrastructure and content” and to create a tool that would allow academic libraries to measure their contribution in a uniform way. Unsurprisingly, this is not simple. This presentation will review the proposal in the Lewis paper and will describe initial efforts to define “open infrastructure and content.” It will also review the preliminary application of this common methodology across 20-30 academic libraries. This will show both how this group of libraries supports open infrastructure and content and to what extent a 2.5% commitment is a realistic or an aspirational goal.

Academic Preservation Trust: The Three-Year Report

December 10, 2017

Planning for the Academic Preservation Trust consortium began five years ago, and APTrust introduced its digital preservation repository as a production service three years ago. With many technical improvements, a solid financial base, and accelerating rates of deposit, APTrust presents a picture of a collaboration in excellent health. But, is it? Why are some members not currently depositing content? How well does it fit the individual digital preservation strategies of all of its members? Those are some of the questions that the governing board and the members of APTrust decided to explore in the fall of 2017. Staff and member representatives will report on the results of that exploration, the emerging patterns of use of APTrust, and its directions for the future.

Advances in the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) Community

December 10, 2017

Karen Estlund
Associate Dean for Technology and Digital Strategies
Pennsylvania State University

The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) community is comprised of a growing number of the world’s leading university, state, and national libraries, museums, galleries, archives, software firms, research institutions, and cultural heritage organizations working with digital images on the web. Now at version 2.1.1, the IIIF specifications have become the shared standard for digital image repositories. In the past year, the IIIF community has embarked on multiple projects and collaborations to advance the usefulness and adoption of IIIF across the GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) landscape and beyond. With two dedicated staff (a community manager and a technical coordinator) now working on behalf of the IIIF Consortium, and a growing community of active contributors, the initiative is poised to move forward through the following projects:

  • Expanding the IIIF Presentation API to include time-based audio/visual materials (draft specifications are currently being tested by the Avalon Media System team and the British Library)
  • Consulting partnership with the American Art Collaborative, and future consulting engagements
  • Multi-institutional collaboration to improve OpenJPEG, an open-source JPEG2000 codec
  • Partnership with DHSI (Digital Humanities Summer Institute)
  • Increased collaboration with Japanese cultural heritage institutions, recent IIIF events in Japan
  • Increased locally-organized events (Harvard meet-up in September, London event at the V&A in November)
  • Exploration of STEM use cases, and potential for 3D and IIIF

In addition, in the past year, the IIIF specifications have been adopted by a number of institutions (the Smithsonian Institution, Folger Shakespeare Library, and National Gallery of Art are the latest institutions to join the IIIF Consortium) and software packages such as CONTENTdm, and ExLibris’ Rosetta and Alma. This project briefing will cover the latest experiments, applications, and highlights of adoption over the past year, updates on the specific projects listed above, and an overview of how interested parties can get involved with the growing IIIF community. This session will be of interest to parties from all institutions responsible for digital image repositories.
