IIIF Curation Platform: Next Generation IIIF Open Platform Supporting User-Driven Image Sharing

IIIF Curation Platform (ICP) is a next generation IIIF platform that introduces a new concept called user-driven image sharing into IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework), an internationally adopted platform for image delivery. This paper first introduces the concept of “curation” as the core of ICP, and explains how this concept is realized by the cooperation of various components. Moreover, we discuss the applicability of ICP based on case studies on a few ICP applications, and finally summarize challenges that need to be solved in the future.
