IIIFkonfigurationer

IIIFkonfigurationer refers to the settings and parameters used to configure IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) image servers and viewers. IIIF is a set of open standards for delivering high-quality scanned or born-digital images on the web. Proper configuration is essential for ensuring that images are accessible, discoverable, and can be manipulated as intended by the IIIF specifications.

These configurations typically involve defining access policies, specifying image quality levels, setting region and size parameters, and determining rotation and mirroring capabilities. For instance, an IIIF image server's configuration might dictate the supported image formats (like JPEG or PNG), compression levels, and the maximum dimensions an image can be resized to. This allows for efficient delivery of image tiles and prevents abuse of server resources.

IIIF viewers, such as Universal Viewer or Mirador, also have their own configuration settings. These often control how the IIIF image manifest is loaded, which IIIF image servers are trusted, and how user interface elements are displayed. Developers can customize features like zoom levels, thumbnail generation, and the display of annotations.

The goal of IIIFkonfigurationer is to balance the flexibility offered by IIIF with the need for controlled access and predictable performance. This ensures that institutions can share their digital collections effectively while maintaining control over their assets. Common configuration files or settings are often managed through administrative interfaces or by directly editing configuration files, depending on the specific IIIF implementation.
