This research network will investigate the potential for innovative forms of scholarly discussion and interchange offered by the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). IIIF enables much easier sharing, annotation and manipulation of digital images from libraries, archives, galleries, and museums across institutional and national boundaries, and offers researchers exciting new possibilities for joint analysis, documentation and discussion of primary materials. IIIF has been one of the most successful digital humanities initiatives of recent years and has been adopted by a wide range of heritage institutions across the world, including the Vatican Library, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Library, the Digital Repository of Ireland, and the National Libraries of Wales and Scotland. Major libraries of historic manuscripts, such as the Parker Library at the University of Cambridge and the Durham Priory Library, are being made available in their entirety using IIIF. IIIF-compliant browsers such as Mirador enable images from collections in different countries to be compared side-by-side at very high magnification, offering the prospect of easily creating large trans-national collections of images of manuscripts and other primary materials. IIIF browsers also support user annotation of images, thereby potentially fostering the emergence of new forms of scholarly presentation and shared commentary on primary materials and artefacts. Some of the possibilities have already been demonstrated by scholars such as Jeffrey C. Witt of Loyola University, who has used IIIF to generate image-based scholarly editions.The objectives of this research network are to organise four workshops at Glasgow, Durham, Dublin and Aberystwyth which will build a dialogue between arts and humanities researchers, curators and information professionals intended to develop research-driven agendas for the deployment and development of IIIF to investigate a wide range of primary materials and archives relevant to humanities research domains. The workshops will build on acknowledged leadership in development and promotion of IIIF in both the United Kingdom and Ireland. They will demonstrate the many different ways in which IIIF supports innovative analysis and commentary on the various types of source material used by arts and humanities researchers. They will document user cases where the facilities offered by IIIF are valuable in addressing particular research questions. Reports and presentations from the workshops will be made available to facilitate future development of IIIF and to encourage scholarly engagement with the potential of IIIF. The workshops will also be used to develop larger-scale projects making use of IIIF, including it is hoped projects suitable for funding in future UK-Ireland joint funding calls.

该研究网络将研究国际图像互操作性框架（IIIF）提供的创新形式的学术讨论和交流的潜力。IIIF使来自图书馆、档案馆、画廊和博物馆的数字图像的共享、注释和操作变得更加容易，跨越了机构和国家的界限，并为研究人员提供了对主要材料进行联合分析、记录和讨论的令人兴奋的新机会。IIIF是近年来最成功的数字人文举措之一，已被世界各地的众多遗产机构采用，包括梵蒂冈图书馆、法国国家图书馆、大英图书馆、数字知识库爱尔兰以及威尔士和苏格兰国家图书馆。主要的历史手稿图书馆，如剑桥大学的帕克图书馆和达勒姆修道院图书馆，都可以通过信息基础设施完整地查阅。与IIIF兼容的浏览器，如Mirador，使来自不同国家的收藏品的图像能够在非常高的放大率下并排进行比较，从而提供了轻松创建手稿和其他原始材料的大型跨国图像收藏的前景。IIIF浏览器还支持用户对图像的注释，从而有可能促进新形式的学术演示和对主要材料和人工制品的共享评论的出现。其中一些可能性已经被杰弗里·C.这个研究网络的目标是在格拉斯哥、达勒姆、都柏林和阿伯里斯特威斯组织四个研讨会，在艺术和人文研究人员之间建立对话，策展人和信息专业人员打算开展研究-推动IIIF的部署和发展议程，以调查与人文研究领域相关的广泛的主要材料和档案。讲习班将以联合王国和爱尔兰在发展和促进综合投资框架方面公认的领导地位为基础。他们将展示IIIF支持对艺术和人文研究人员使用的各种类型的源材料进行创新分析和评论的许多不同方式。它们将记录IIIF提供的设施在解决特定研究问题方面有价值的用户案例。将提供讲习班的报告和介绍，以促进IIIF的未来发展，并鼓励学术界参与IIIF的潜力。讲习班还将用于利用IIIF开发更大规模的项目，包括希望适合在未来英国-爱尔兰联合资助呼吁中获得资助的项目。
