AllMaps + Georeferenced IIIF content integration #77

Open kmcdono2 opened 1 year ago

kmcdono2 commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Soon, map collections in digitized heritage collections will be available through IIIF with georeferencing metadata --> https://preview.iiif.io/api/georef/extension/georef/#2-georeferencing-iiif-resources

In the mean time, it's also possible to take materials exposed via IIIF and use AllMaps to create/store the georeferencing IIIF annotation.

How can we design a workflow for people to take either georeferenced IIIF content or batches of AllMaps annotated maps and use them as input in MapReader? Ideally, in bulk since the promise of MapReader is in working at scale?

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Alternatives have always been requesting geoTiffs images from institutions or accessing tile layers (where available). Both require significant resources for managing data transfer (geoTiffs) or expense of hosting institution for making tile layers available.

Just a quick note to say that the Georef extension was officially published as 1.0 a few weeks ago, more details here: https://iiif.io/news/2023/05/15/georef-extension-published/

Thanks @hadro - we're likely to pick this up in the fall, but I was also thinking about whether we could pitch a hack session for July's Geo4Lib around this (and same for IIIF input to mapKurator pipeline for Machines Reading Maps).
