IIIF extension

The IIIF extension is an extension to MediaWiki which offers a number of APIs for working with IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework), such as integrating annotations, creating collections and using MediaWiki image files. Some of its features are based on Semantic MediaWiki. The extension can be downloaded from Github. It does not include Mirador, which is part of a separate extension, but the extensions can be used together.

Extension

Many examples were written to make use of resources from Digital Collections at Trinity College, Dublin. Unfortunately, these resources are no longer available for machine-readable operations.

Demos

• Annotations
  • Annotations from Semantic MediaWiki - loading our SMW data as annotations into Mirador
  • Referencing annotations from a wiki page into an existing manifest - using annotations that were first saved to localStorage.
• Collection of manifests - creating a collection of manifests on the basis of a SMW query.
• Images from MediaWiki repositories - using images (level 0, tileless) from a local or external MediaWiki repository

IIIF namespace

This extension automatically creates a page namespace with the IIIF: prefix for any JSON content you might want to store in the wiki. A link at the top provides direct access to the JSON content. If you have CodeEditor installed, then the Ace editor is available to you for editing code.

These are convenience features because :

• While you can, you do not have to set up your IIIF namespace yourself.
• While you can you always access the raw JSON by appending ?action=raw to the page's URL, this is non-transparent to general visitors and triggers the browser to download the content as a file to your machine. Instead, a short and friendly redirect URL is offered to let you access JSON directly in the browser.

An example of such a page on this site is IIIF:Config/smwquery.
