Museums need to find a solution to better image delivery to support a richer visitor experience, internal and cross-institutional collaboration, and the development of knowledge, all elements which are at the core of their mission. As a human driven community of scholars, developers, imaging and data experts, IIIF seeks to propose a different paradigm to support the web-based exchange of images, 3D models and AV resources. This new ecosystem takes into consideration the demands and feedback of museum professionals and image users, and this session proposes to showcase 5 real life use cases at leading museums in the USA and UK (Yale Center for British Art, Art Institute of Chicago, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., J. Paul Getty Museum, and the Victoria & Albert Museum). After a brief introduction to the IIIF community and APIs (including the newly released Presentation 3.0 API), the panelists will discuss the roles of IIIF at their institutions, especially where collaboration and applications are concerned.
