Glycerine, an image annotation platform built in partnership with ARDC last year as part of the ARDC Community Data Lab, will be featured at a 2-day event in Canberra in October.
The IIIF consortium and the National Film and Sound Archive are organising this free event alongside the AI4LAM Fantastic Futures conference. The Day 1 showcase will feature presentations from the IIIF executive, national and international institutions, as well as showcasing Glycerine implementations and Australian IIIF experience. The Day 2 workshop will provide hands-on sessions to get started in adopting IIIF and Glycerine workflows for curation and research practices.
Registrations are now open for the IIIF Showcase and Workshop at ANU for 15 and 16 October.
To join the workshop, register for the Fantastic Futures conference via the National Film and Sound Archive. For more information, visit the Fantastic Futures website.
The adoption of the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) in cultural institutions presents an opportunity for seamless collaboration on the annotation of images. A limiting factor has been the threshold of development required to implement a scholarly annotation system.
Glycerine is a workbench for annotating and publishing IIIF images built in partnership between the ARDC and Systemik Solutions. Glycerine provides a suite of annotation tools and end-to-end workflows for researchers, curators and students to collaborate on projects across repositories.
Sets of annotations can combine semantic tags from domain-specific vocabularies with critical analysis in multiple languages. Annotated images can be published as research outputs in immersive and engaging visualisations and archived in sustainable formats.
Glycerine is hosted on the ARDC Nectar Research Cloud. Users from Australia can access Glycerine for free.
