Advanced Imaging Services at KU Leuven Libraries
2018-10-18 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Madrid)
Sesion lead

Bruno Vandermeulen, Hendrik Hameeuw (KU Leuven)

Description

This webinar will focus on a selection of advanced imaging services which have been developed and used over the last years at the KU Leuven Libraries for the digitisation of documentary heritage. The presentation aims to demonstrate how a mid-range multispectral imaging set-up has step-by-step been fine-tuned towards a standardised acquisition procedure. In addition, the functionalities and dissemination strategies for the at the KU Leuven developed White Light and Multispectral Portable Light Dome system will be discussed in detail. Since its introduction, this advanced multi-light reflectance imaging method has been deployed with great success for many digitisation assignments on library materials. The webinar will show how these approaches are being integrated in the daily imaging activities and how they expand high quality imaging towards analytic documentation.

An Introduction to IIIF
2019-03-13 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Madrid)
Sesion lead

Tom Crane (Digirati & IIIF Editorial Committee)

Description

The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) is revolutionising access to digital objects of cultural heritage, by providing a standard for viewers and servers to implement. Hundreds of institutions (including many European National Libraries) are making their collections available using the new standard. As well as reducing costs of implementation, the emergence of IIIF for publishing digital objects (digitised books, maps, manuscripts, archives, artworks) is driving innovation and opening up new research possibilities for annotation, crowdsourcing and machine learning across collections.

Digital libraries and repositories store, manage, represent and disseminate rich and heterogenous data that are often of enormous cultural, scientific, educational, artistic, and social value. Serving as digital ecosystems for empowering researchers and practitioners they provide unparalleled opportunities for novel knowledge extraction and discovery. TPDL 2019 attempts to facilitate establishing connections and convergences between diverse research communities such as Digital Humanities, Information Sciences and others that could benefit from (and contribute to) ecosystems offered by digital libraries and repositories. To become especially useful to the diverse research and practitioner communities digital libraries need to consider special needs and requirements for effective data utilization, management and exploitation.
