From Prototype to Production: Turning Good Ideas into Useful Library Services
Washington, DC (USA)
This session explores two projects at different points of the prototype-to-production workflow: IIIF (integration of the International Image Interoperability Framework) into a digital discovery environment; and a Linked Data Wikibase prototype (reconciliation tool and editor built to match library metadata workflows) transitioning to production. Temple University presents from the experimenter and practitioner point of view.
Topics: IIIF, Linked Data
