Software
IIIF Curation Platform (ICP) is composed of several open source software. We introduce ICP software in the following. Note that IIIF Image Server and IIIF Presentation Server are not included in the ICP.
Client Software
Software that works in the browser as user interface.
Server Software
Software that offers server-side API, and data storage and access services to the client.
Docker
Docker environment to support the installation of ICP.
Installation of ICP
Some of the functionality of ICP can be easily used without installation, but installation allows users to build a dedicated project environment, and there are many choices about how to use ICP. The following shows four typical patterns for using ICP.
| Use Case | Installation | Environment dedicated to your project | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Use the demonstration offered from CODH | No installation | Not possible |
| 2 | Use only ICP clients | Download the ZIP file and expand them at the appropriate location on the web server | Not appropriate |
| 3 | Use also ICP servers | You can either install by yourself, but Docker may save your effort | OK |
| 4 | Use the ICP environment hosted by CODH | No installation is required (but you need to have a collaborative research agreement with CODH) | OK |
By comparing the table above, please find the installation type that fits to your requirement. IIIF Curation Platform tutorial also helps your installation.
What is IIIF?
We introduce IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) as the fundamental technology of the platform, and related resources such as databases.
