A quick hack to show how to insert a #IIIf-Viewer in a #quarto html-doc:
```{html}
<script src="cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs"></script>
<div id="openseadragon-viewer" style="width: 100%; height: 500px;"></div>
<script>
var viewer = OpenSeadragon({
id: "openseadragon-viewer",
prefixUrl: "cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs",
tileSources: "heidicon.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/",
showNavigator: true,
});
</script>
```

My PhD thesis "Linked Open Usable Data for Cultural Heritage: Perspectives on Community Practices and Semantic Interoperability" is now (finally) available in HTML format: phd.julsraemy.ch/thesis.html (not perfect I reckon)

The PDF was published in December 2024 on the University of Basel's repository: doi.org/10.5451/unibas-ep96807.

phd.julsraemy.chLinked Open Usable Data for Cultural Heritage: Perspectives on Community Practices and Semantic InteroperabilityDigital technologies have fundamentally transformed how Cultural Heritage (CH) collections are accessed and engaged with. Linked Open Usable Data (LOUD) specifications, including the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) Presentation API 3.0, Linked Art, and the Web Annotation Data Model (WADM), have emerged as web standards to facilitate the description and dissemination of these valuable resources. Despite the widespread adoption of IIIF, implementing LOUD specifications, particularly in combination, remains challenging. This is especially evident in the development and assessment of infrastructures, or sites of assemblage, that support these standards. This research is guided by two perspectives: community practices and semantic interoperability. The first perspective assesses how organizations, individuals, and apparatuses engage with and contribute to the consensus-making processes surrounding LOUD. By examining these practices, the social fabrics of the LOUD ecosystem can be better understood. The second perspective focuses on making data meaningful to machines in a standardized, interoperable manner that promotes the exchange of well-formed information. This research is grounded in the SNSF-funded project, *Participatory Knowledge Practices in Analogue and Digital Image Archives* (PIA) (2021–2025), which aims to develop a citizen science platform for three photographic collections from the Cultural Anthropology Switzerland (CAS) archives. Actor-Network Theory (ANT) forms the theoretical foundation, aiming to describe the collaborative structures of the LOUD ecosystem and emphasize the role of non-human actors. Beyond its implementation within the PIA project, this research includes an analysis of the social dynamics within the IIIF and Linked Art communities and an investigation of Yale's Collections Discovery platform, LUX. The research identifies socio-technical requirements for developing specifications aligned with LOUD principles. It also examines how the implementation of LOUD standards in PIA highlights their potential benefits and limitations in facilitating data reuse and broader participation. Additionally, it explores Yale University's large-scale deployment of LOUD standards, emphasizing the importance of ensuring consistency between Linked Art and IIIF resources within the LUX platform for the CH domain. The core methodology of this thesis is an actor- and practice-centered inquiry, focusing on a detailed examination of specific cosmologies within LOUD-driven communities, PIA, and LUX. This micro-perspective approach provides rich empirical evidence to unravel the intricate web of cultural processes and constellations in these contexts. Key empirical findings indicate that LOUD enhances the discoverability and integration of data in CH, requiring community-driven consensus on model interoperability. However, significant challenges include engaging marginalized groups, sustaining long-term participation, and balancing technological and social factors. Strategic use of technology and the capture of digital materiality are critical, but LOUD also poses challenges related to resource investment, data consistency, and the broader implementation of complex patterns. LOUD should lead efforts to improve the accessibility and usability of CH data. The community-driven methodologies of IIIF and Linked Art inherently foster collaboration and transparency, making these standards essential tools in evolving data management practices. Even for institutions and projects that do not adopt these specifications, the socio-technical practices of LOUD offer vital insights into effective digital stewardship and strategies for community engagement.

ZuantuSet: A Collection of Historical Chinese Visualizations and Illustrations
arxiv.org/abs/2502.19093

This UI is beautiful! Probably one of the best collection viewers I have seen. I haven't read the paper yet, but at a quick glance I can see some #IIIF content from tile.loc.gov

arXiv.orgZuantuSet: A Collection of Historical Chinese Visualizations and IllustrationsHistorical visualizations are a valuable resource for studying the history of visualization and inspecting the cultural context where they were created. When investigating historical visualizations, it is essential to consider contributions from different cultural frameworks to gain a comprehensive understanding. While there is extensive research on historical visualizations within the European cultural framework, this work shifts the focus to ancient China, a cultural context that remains underexplored by visualization researchers. To this aim, we propose a semi-automatic pipeline to collect, extract, and label historical Chinese visualizations. Through the pipeline, we curate ZuantuSet, a dataset with over 71K visualizations and 108K illustrations. We analyze distinctive design patterns of historical Chinese visualizations and their potential causes within the context of Chinese history and culture. We illustrate potential usage scenarios for this dataset, summarize the unique challenges and solutions associated with collecting historical Chinese visualizations, and outline future research directions.

Last week the State Library of Victoria launched SLV LAB a prototyping and innovation lab that ‘experiment[s] with technology to open access to collections, data and spaces’. This prompted a few GLAM Workbench updates, described here: updates.timsherratt.org/2025/0 #GLAM #libraries #IIIF #digitalHumanities

updates.timsherratt.org · SLV LAB and GLAM Workbench updatesLast week the State Library of Victoria launched SLV LAB a prototyping and innovation lab that ‘experiment[s] with technology to open access to collections, data and spaces’. The SLV LAB encourages collaboration, and is sharing code, datasets, and tutorials. It’s an exciting development and I’m looking forward to seeing what they get up to. I’ve added SLV LAB to the GLAM data portals & repositories section of my Australian GLAM data list.

With the launch yesterday of the State Library of Victoria's new SLV LAB, I thought it was about time I updated the SLV section of the GLAM Workbench. See: glam-workbench.net/state-libra

I've updated the notebooks, software, and config, and added a JupyterLite version of the 'Fun with IIIF' notebook. #GLAM #IIIF #libraries #digitalHumanities
