The document discusses IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework), annotations, and discourse. It provides an overview of IIIF, describing its image, presentation, and search APIs. It discusses how annotations can be used with IIIF manifestations to provide additional context and information. Examples are given of active IIIF efforts involving granularity, 3D images, time-based media, and taking advantage of the web. The document concludes with a demo of the Mirador IIIF viewer.

21. Search API: Use Cases
● Searching OCR generated text to find words or phrases
within a book, newspaper or other primarily textual
content.
● Searching transcribed content, provided by crowd-sourcing
or transformation of scholarly output.
● Searching multiple streams of content, such as the
translation or edition, rather than the raw transcription
of the content, to jump to the appropriate part of an
object.
● Searching on sections of text, such as defined chapters
or articles.
● Searching for user provided commentary about the
resource, either as a discovery mechanism for the
resource or for the discussion.
● Discovering similar sections of text to compare either
the content or the object.
