Berlin (Germany)

Venue: dpa Headquarter Berlin, Markgrafenstraße 20, 10969 Berlin

This face-to-face meeting of IPTC Delegates and other participants covered these items:

Introduction and presentation of IIIF – iiif.io – International Image Interoperability Framework with Q&A
Presentation about IPTC Photo Metadata
Workshop: how to bring successfully together IIIF work and IPTC Photo Metadata
(IIIF is an international community currently coming primarily from museums and art collections. The key goal is to provide a uniform, interoperable and rich access to image resources via API. Another goal is to develop, cultivate and document shared technologies, such as image servers and web clients, that provide a world-class user experience in viewing, comparing, manipulating and annotating images.
IPTC has a strong experience and long history as maker of metadata for describing photos and sharing data about rights and administration. This set of metadata is supported by virtually all imaging software for professionals.)
