The IIIF extension is an extension to MediaWiki which offers a number of API services and associated tools 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 Extension:Semantic MediaWiki.

Documentation about installation, configuration and usage is or will be found on the CODECS website : https://codecs.vanhamel.nl/Show:Lab/IIIF.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called IIIF in your extensions/ folder.
• Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing composer install --no-dev in the extension directory. (See task T173141 for potential complications.)
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'IIIF' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

IIIF

IIIF refers to a set of open standards for serving different types of digital resources, such as images and audio/visual files, on the web. The aim is to make it easier for the audience to view and to interact with them and for tools to become interoperable.

See the IIIF website for a general introduction and further information.
