As a web user, I would like to easily discover IIIF content from web pages #75

As a non-specialist user, I would like to learn about IIIF content which I encounter while browsing the web and use it in ways not anticipated by the provider:

Scenarios

  1. I have an application or hosted service conceptually similar to Zotero, pinboard/delicious, hypothes.is, Evernote / One Note, etc. which allows me to save, tag, view, etc. IIIF content.
  2. I install a browser extension, bookmarklet, etc.
  3. In normal web usage, any time I end up on a page referring to content which is also available in IIIF (image, presentation, etc.) the extension can detect the IIIF option and provide UI cues: “Save this to…”, “Add to comparison view”, etc.

Variant: sharing

  1. I find a page on a library website and share the URL on a social site, blog, etc.
  2. The sharing software recognizes the availability of IIIF metadata and provides a rich display: full metadata display similar to Twitter cards, embedded image viewer, etc.

The common thread is that this doesn't assume the user knows much about IIIF or a particular institution's support for it, and that the content host shouldn't need to add links for a specific application or service.

This might be as simple as waiting for consensus on https://github.com/IIIF/iiif.io/issues/1066 and having a simple “For content providers” example showing how to add HTTP Link: headers and/or HTML <link rel=alternate> tags to HTML pages.

As per conversation with @azaroth42 in Slack I updated the links on https://www.wdl.org to use the type application/ld+json;profile="http://iiif.io/api/presentation/2/context.json".

The browser extension DetektIIIF does a pretty good job in this regards.
