International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF)                        http://iiif.io    

IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) has the following goals:■ To give scholars an unprecedented level of uniform and rich access

to image-based resources hosted around the world.■ To define a set of common application programming interfaces

that support interoperability between image repositories.■ To develop, cultivate and document shared technologies, such as

image servers and web clients, that provide a world-class user experience in viewing, comparing, manipulating and annotating images.
