Stefano Cossu and David Newbury presented at the Getty IIIF Conference on their six-year journey of implementing the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) at the Getty, emphasizing lessons learned and infrastructure development. Their work integrates IIIF into a cohesive system to enhance accessibility and interactivity of visual arts, including collaborative projects and user-driven customization. The presentation highlights the broad applications of IIIF from image services to annotations, showcasing the technology's potential to streamline museum operations and enhance user experience.
USE ME: progressive integration of IIIF with new software services at the Getty
- 1. Stefano Cossu, David Newbury Getty IIIF Conference, Cambridge MA – June 7th, 2022 Use Me: Progressive Integration of IIIF within the Getty Stefano Cossu, David Newbury
- 2. Getty is coming up on six years of work on implementing IIIF. What have we learned, and what can we share? 2 Six Years In: Lessons Learned
- 3. We are a museum, a library, we have exhibitions, do digital projects, and are a publisher. We also have a mission to work for the benefit of visual arts and to further the work of the field. 3 Getty: a unique organization
- 4. Getty initially implemented IIIF back in 2016/17, with implementations in the Museum and Archives. However, as our ambitions grew, we realized we needed to consolidate our IIIF ecosystem and tie it into the shared data infrastructure. 4 IIIF: a brief history at Getty
- 5. ● Binary and semantic data ● Proprietary and open source systems ● Different protocols and access methods 5 Infrastructure: Getty Data Sources
- 6. ● Data source middleware ○ Extract source data from 3rd party CMS / DAMS ○ Output plain JSON data close to the source ○ Provide overload protection of source systems and high availability 6 Infrastructure: Level 1 Cache
- 7. ● LOD transformers ○ Convert L1 cache JSON records into LOD (Linked.Art, Getty vocabs, Web/Open Annotation, etc.) ● Task Manager ○ Event-driven orchestration 7 Infrastructure: Level 2 Transformers
- 8. ● Public JSON-LD API ○ Individual records & Activity Streams ○ Version retrieval (Memento) ● SPARQL endpoints ○ Federated search across multiple areas 8 Infrastructure: LOD Gateway
- 9. ● ETL pipelines ○ Convert source records (LOD) and media into IIIF image & presentation API resources ● Web Gateway ○ Caching, access control, and delivery of IIIF assets 9 Infrastructure: GCIS (Getty Common Image Services)
- 10. 10 Big Picture: IIIF and Linked Open Data Infrastructure
- 11. ● Images (studio photography, mass digitization, interpretive & marketing imagery) are created through predefined entry points ● Integration with OpenText Media Manager (DAM) and event-driven architecture Shared production workflows 11 https://media.getty.edu/iiif/image/b0b7177f-0e08-4208-90c5-4e386ed67aeb
- 12. 12 Big Picture: a Shared Content Model
- 13. Collection and archival views, with deep zoom and multi-image objects. The bread and butter of IIIF. 13 So…. What does this enable?
- 14. Download of multiple versions for images, and access to IIIF Manifests for use in other viewers (and access to Mirador for comparison viewing) 14 So…. What does this enable?
- 15. But also annotations: we’ve annotated each image with a color palette, and use that to drive both the background and as part of the suggestion algorithms. 15 So…. What does this enable?
- 16. And outside collections, every image on (the new pages of) Getty.edu is a IIIF image. This allows for responsive images with user-defined crops per-page, social sharing images, and dynamic caches. 16 So…. What does this enable?
- 17. Quire, our digital publication tool, also uses IIIF to generate Level 0 image services to provide preservable deep zoom images and uses ContentState to provide interactivity within the interface. 17 So…. What does this enable?
- 18. Easier integration with vendors: clear documentation eases the integration cost for them… and prevents headaches for us! 18 So…. What does this enable?
- 19. And then there’s the weird stuff. 19
- 20. We’re at the early stages of a collaborative project with our colleagues at Smithsonian to digitize, IIIF-ify, and provide access to over five million images from the Johnson Publishing Archive. 20 What’s next?
- 21. For us, the IIIF is an enabling technology. The value is that is speeds prototyping and reduces questions—both for our collaborators and for ourselves. 21 So why IIIF?
