Overview

I tried the IiifPresentation module that adds IIIF Presentation API support, so here are my notes.

https://omeka.org/s/modules/IiifPresentation/

As far as I could tell from a brief trial, there did not seem to be a significant difference from the features provided by the IIIF Server module below.

One difference is that this module was developed by the Omeka Team, and it has the advantage of being usable without detailed configuration.

Installation

The installation procedure is the same as for regular modules.

Usage

Let’s try the features provided by this module using a resource with item ID 8.

The base URL is:

https://omekas.aws.ldas.jp/omeka4/

Accessing the following URL retrieves the IIIF manifest.

https://omekas.aws.ldas.jp/omeka4/iiif-presentation/3/item/8/manifest

Next, accessing the following URL redirects to the Mirador viewer.

https://omekas.aws.ldas.jp/omeka4/iiif-presentation/3/item/8

Additionally, by specifying multiple item IDs or item set IDs, it appears that IIIF collections can be retrieved and browsed. For details, please refer to the following.

Summary

I found it useful that this module alone can generate manifests and provide viewer-based browsing without needing to install IIIF modules or viewer-related modules (Mirador or Universal Viewer).

On the other hand, the IIIF module and similar options seem to offer superior customizability, so it seems best to choose based on the use case.

I hope this serves as a helpful reference for others.
