Overview
Participants will follow the online workshop materials including watching videos on the Image and Presentation APIs, and creating annotations with IIIF.
Support will be given by the IIIF Technical Coordinator in the form of a group Slack channel, daily group check-in sessions, and 1 to 1 meetings. Participants are encouraged to bring their own images to the workshop and work on a project during the week putting in to practice what they are learning and these will be demoed to other participants on the last day of the workshop.
After this class, participants will be able to:
- Run a local image server
- Annotate IIIF images
- Build a IIIF Presentation manifest using the Bodleian Manifest Editor
- Relate existing applications of IIIF to local user needs
Course details
The workshop will take place over five days (see schedule below). Participants typically need to dedicate 3-4 hours a day and follow the material for one topic a day.
Participants are expected to attend the Monday and Friday meetings in real time, and may drop in on the check-in meetings to meet other participants and discuss any ideas or discuss issues they are having.
Participants will need a laptop on which they can install software and should be able to commit to a minimum of 3-4 hours per day for the 5-day course to get the most out of it. They will need to install Zoom, Slack, and various workshop specific tools.
As well as the core sessions listed above there are a number of guest presentations that were recorded during the first online workshop available in the Workshop notes. If participants are interested in hearing about other tools we will try and source extra Guest presentations during the week. These sessions will be recorded for later viewing by participants that can’t make these extra calls.
