Prototyping Digital Archive Tools: Mainly IIIF Usage Support

Overview

I created “Digital Archive Tools.” It mainly provides support features for using IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework).

Feature 1: Image Comparison with Mirador 3

You specify the URLs of the manifest files and the canvas IDs you want to compare, as shown below.

As a result, you can compare images as follows.

Feature 2: Page Number Specification Tool

This only supports IIIF Presentation API Version 2.

Some IIIF-compatible viewers allow you to specify the page number to display by providing the manifest file URL in the manifest parameter and the canvas ID in the canvas parameter.

However, to obtain this canvas ID, you need to check the contents of the manifest file, which can be tedious. This feature provides functionality to automatically complete the canvas ID by specifying the page number.

After specifying the page number and clicking “Generate URL,” the URL with the specified canvas ID is displayed.

Please note that not all viewers are supported, but I hope this is helpful for those facing similar issues.

Summary

I hope this is helpful.
