Agenda & Notes

Any other items for the agenda?
1. Nothing added
Demo from Northwestern University: Serverless API for IIIF
1. Serverless API for IIIF
2. @karen.didrickson and @Mat Jordan presenting
3. as=iiif all data returned as IIIF
4. Current: dcapi was a simple opensearch proxy, and iiif was static manifests, no collections, and regeneration problem
5. New Solution: restful api, what if all things were iiif, including search, what if iiif powered more things than just a viewer
6. All iiif is just a serialization
7. implemented using AWS SAM, and serialized using lambdas.
8. 1mil requests at 20 ms is ~.04
9. as much as possible front end is all iiif
10. any response from the api can be returned as a IIIF including search results as collections, items, etc
11. we’re not delivering canvases in collection
12. all of a work and metadata are IIIF and “related items” are also IIIF
13. all the metadata for a page is included in the IIIF manifest not two separate requests
14. large responses: chunked response and next page is itself a collection at the end scales well
15. bloom, clover, and serverless iiif are in either labs or core
16. Q what do you do with things like facets
  1. Not everything fits into a manifest
  2. we are using a “see also” for the full pipeline
  3. we’re using iiif as our primary datasource for UI components
  4. Search results are powered by a normal elasticsearch
