14. IIIF Search API

15. IIIF Authentication
• Login
– The user will be required to log in using a separate window with
a UI provided by an external authentication system.
• Click through
– The user will be required to click a button within the client using
content provided in the service description.

cookie, and the access cookie service will not be used at all.

16. Joining the Community
• Iiif-discuss and slack
• Fortnightly telephone calls
• Interest groups; Newspapers, Manuscripts,
Museums and Software developers
