Why should Wikimedia implement IIIF? And what does that mean? There are several things they could do, some possibly quite straightforward.
Clarify two different things:
- Bring Wikimedia assets (images, audio, video) into shared IIIF annotation space, so that they become part of the IIIF Universe, can be annotated, referenced, mashed up, reused as Presentation API
- Allow image reuse via IIIF Image api:
- statically, via level 0 (extreme level 0) service
