The document provides an overview of the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), highlighting its key features, standards (Image API and Presentation API), and use cases among various research institutions and libraries. It discusses the integration of interoperable images, viewers, collections, and annotations in digital projects, as well as hosting solutions for IIIF servers. Additionally, it emphasizes the benefits of IIIF in digitization, sharing, and transcription of cultural heritage materials.
