International Image
Interoperability Framework
國際圖像互通架構(英語:International Image Interoperability Framework,簡寫IIIF)定義了幾種應用程式編程介面,從而提供了一種在網路上描述和提供圖像的標準化方法以及關於結構化圖像的「基於表示的元資料」(即結構元資料)。如果持有藝術品、書籍、報紙、手稿、地圖、捲軸、單頁收藏和檔案材料的機構為其內容提供IIIF端點,則可以用任何相容IIIF的檢視器或應用程式來消費和顯示圖像及其結構和表示的元資料。
有許多數位化計劃會通過使用特殊的檢視器應用,來把自己的某些收藏品內容呈現到網際網路上,但這些不同的館藏通常不能相互操作。這會導致終端使用者或機構無法選擇他們想要的檢視器來消費數位化的材料。IIIF旨在為客戶端和伺服器端培養共享的技術,以實現跨儲存庫的互操作性,並促進相容的伺服器和檢視器應用程式的市場。
Gain richer access to the world’s image and audio/visual files
IIIF is a set of open standards for delivering high-quality, attributed digital objects online at scale. It’s also an international community developing and implementing the IIIF APIs. IIIF is backed by a consortium of leading cultural institutions.
Break down silos with open APIs
Many of the images and audio/visual resources that are fundamental to research exist in silos, with access restricted to locally-built applications. IIIF gives you and your audience freedom to work across barriers.
Create possibilities with IIIF basics
Even the simplest implementations provide front and back end flexibility alongside features that allow researchers to engage meaningfully with many types of digitized resources.

Unite objects to enhance collections
Make your collections more open and useable: expose your IIIF Manifest files to allow users to unite resources from across collections and create exhibitions, specialized research spaces, and more.

Guides to finding IIIF resources
This is a brief guide to finding IIIF Manifest URLs from members of the IIIF community. These guides begin from a record page, so do not include how to search or view an individual record.
Once you have a manifest URL you can use the How to use IIIF Resources and Viewers guide to open it in one of the many IIIF Viewers.
This site is a work in progress, and heavily inspired by the initial work done by St Andrew’s University to compile the initial IIIF Resources List.
“Copy this link” is the final step in many of the guides and this involves right-clicking and “copy link address” or similar. Alternatively left click to open the link, then copy the address in the address bar.
