Implementation of IIIF for Natural History Collections
The CETAF Identifier specification provides a uniform way for people and machines to access textual data about specimens over the internet but one of the primary use cases is to access images of specimens. These pages document best practice for exposing specimen images using IIIF and why this approach is recommended. The initial development of these recommendations was carried out as part of an EU funded Synthesys+ Task 4.3 (2019-2021) which was part of the larger DISSCo initiative.
IIIF ([International Image Interoperability Framework]) is an exchange standard for sharing multimedia representations of objects on-line. It has been adopted by many institutions and commercial partners in the digital humanities community but, before Synthesys+ Task 4.3, was not used in the Natural History community.
There is quite a lot of information here so it is split across multiple pages.
- IIIF Background - Why IIIF looks like the right fit for Natural History Specimens.
- IIIF Framework - An overview of the IIIF Framework including the standards and organisation.
- IIIF Linking HTML - How to link to and from a IIIF Manifest and a HTML page.
- IIIF Linking CETAF IDs - How to link to and from a IIIF Manifest and CETAF ID.

- IIIF Linking ABCD - How to link from ABCD metadata to a IIIF Manifest
Images are provided in ABCD using the repeatable MultimediaObject node, meaning multiple objects per specimen can be provided in a single ABCD record. Thus, the IIIF manifest can be included in a similar way as for DarwinCore Archives - by adding another MultimediaObject entry equivalent to the Audubon Core extension record as in the example below.
