Simple IIIF Discovery - About

Simple Site Collaborations

The Simple IIIF Discovery systems is built on several extensions of the Simple Site project, developed out of work from a number of different projects, all of which involved some aspect of making image search and presentation more FAIR. The work is intended to demonstrate how shared international standards, like IIIF, can be used to facilitate simple cross collection interoperability. Basically, making it easier for users to find and explore the rich image content being presented on the web. This work will continue across these and future projects and further collaborations are anticipated.

For Developers:

We welcome collaboration from institutions and individuals interested in adapting Simple IIIF Discovery to respond to their needs. As a starting point, the code provided can be adapted to your institutional infrastructure as may be necessary. For general enquires, please submit issues and questions via the Simple IIIF Discovery GitHub page.

For Researchers:

Simple IIIF Discovery is intended as a means exploring and surveying the collections of participating institutions. As the results of the search are determined by information provided in the data structure of each institution, the information returned from a search may not be exhaustive nor representative of the entirety of an institution's holdings; however, Simple IIIF Discovery may serve as a starting point for initial enquiries into the collections held by the participating institutions.

Please note that copyright and reproduction permissions are maintained by each participating institution for their own objects, and rights must be obtained in accordance with the conditions imposed by those institutions. Information about a given holding institution, when executing a combined search, will be available in returned IIIF manifests or via the links provided when working with simple IIIF info.json files.
