Challenges Displaying Complex Image Data: New Tech & Old Institutions
1 like209 views
This document discusses the use of the IIIF standard to provide access to cultural heritage materials through digital images in several contexts: - Manuscripts that have been disbound and are held in different institutions, allowing the leaves to be reassembled digitally. - Historical documents like diaries that have undergone multiple digitization campaigns as imaging technology advanced, presenting different versions to users. - Scholarly editions incorporating multi-spectral images of manuscript pages taken for text reconstruction. - Representing pages that are known to exist but are lost or too fragile to digitize directly.

- 3. www.rbtoth.com IIIF Use Cases o A manuscript that has been disbound and is now separated across different institutions, some of which have digitized their leaves. o An important diary that has had multiple digitizations over time as technology improves, any of which should be available to the user to compare. o A manuscript where different, multi-spectral images of a single page, taken for the text reconstruction, are available to be displayed. o A letter where pages are known to have existed, but have been lost or still exist but are too fragile to digitize without destroying them.
