I looked at those specs and have some thoughts:
But I might be misunderstanding the question. The link above crosses to 4 or 5 very long specs so it’s a lot to take in.
I think we need to better understand what @jeffreyameyer is asking here. I don't think it will be "easy" to go from loading an image hosted by others to having an IIIF-compliant image serving and display service that allows for dynamic focus on different parts of an image.
Perhaps there are existing such services that our client needs to consume? That might be a bit more tractable in the context of a client-side application, which is what we are building.
I was asking more about the ability to view IIIF stuff than to serve it.
Main interest, eg. would be to link to something like this: https://www.loc.gov/resource/g4284s.pm009730/
but to be able to display a small box inside that larger image... e.g. for the Occidental Hotel.
Same could be for a larger Sanborn map. Of course, that's possibly best done with a georeferenced raster layer...
New question from Jeff:
image display in the inspector
How tough would it be to make it IIIF compliant? Reason for this... to be able (I think) to define, say, a viewing box for a particular image and then focus on that area. Or, a point / region on an underlying map, without having to render the whole thing. https://iiif.io/technical-details/#community
