  I have to say that I&#x27;m a little surprised that the BnF supports a framework that facilitates original image downloads and bills itself as &quot;breaking down silos&quot;. They&#x27;re kinda famous for charging fees for access and and putting restrictions on using public domain works that have already been digitized. (see e.g. the &quot;Provision of an image already digitised&quot; section of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bnf.fr&#x2F;en&#x2F;reproduction-products-and-fees#bnf-image-document" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bnf.fr&#x2F;en&#x2F;reproduction-products-and-fees#bnf-ima...</a>)

  I remember learning about IIIE (triple-I-efe) years ago while working with a computer vision researcher that used it to serve images generated with Jenkins pipelines.<p>Glad to see the project of server I used is still running well. The maintainer was a really nice person to work with too: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cantaloupe-project.github.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cantaloupe-project.github.io&#x2F;</a><p>It helped me that I was already familiar with some OGC &amp; GIS tiling technologies, as what IIIF is doing is not too different. The image processing layer is different though, as you can zoom in, out, rotate, scale, etc..<p>There were several JavaScript clients, the one I used was one adopted by a museum, but I cannot recall the name now.

  My problem with IIIF is that <i>every</i> JS library that implements a browser-based viewer should have a button in the viewer UI that lets you point to your profile so you can load your preferred viewer in-place rather than use whichever plugin&#x2F;library the publisher went with, but none of them do.
