Martin Kalfatovic
Managing Director
International Image Interoperability Framework Consortium
This session will examine the formation of International Image Operability Framework Consortium (IIIF-C) in 2015 to support the development and implementation of the standards (the Image API, proposed in 2011 and published as Version 1.0 in 2012) that comprise the International Image Operability Framework (IIIF). The session will look forward to new developments in both the IIIF-C community and the IIIF standards themselves. The tenth anniversary of the IIIF-C in 2025 will see the organization grow to 70+ partners from the 11 that gathered at the Bodleian Library (Oxford University). Moving forward, the IIIF-C will build on the recently developed strategic framework to support the development, adoption, and implementation of the IIIF APIs to increasingly support a range of digital objects (images, audio/visual, 3D) and services around those objects. As the IIIF-C looks beyond 2025, new models of collaboration to strengthen the global IIIF community will be developed.
