Abstract

This study focuses on the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), proposed in 2011, as a strategic approach to enhancing the sharing of digital cultural heritage images. It aims to propose ways of improving access to and interoperability of high-resolution images in the cultural heritage sector through IIIF. To this end, the study summarizes the key features of the Image API and Presentation API, referencing IIIF’s official documentation. It also examines the three types of interoperability supported by IIIF: viewer interoperability, image interoperability, and collection interoperability. In addition, actual case studies of IIIF applications were investigated to highlight how IIIF enhances access to digital cultural heritage in major museums, libraries, and archives, and contributes to the advancement of education and research. Based on this analysis, the considerations for applying IIIF in domestic digital cultural heritage service providers have been summarized.
