Placing the image at the heart of scientific publications: IIIF technologies applied to public scientific publishing
The scientific community of historians of art and material cultures places images at the heart of its reflections and demonstrations. Drawing on the tools and editorial chains developed by players in public scientific publishing, the overall aim of the PerVisum project is to provide this community with an innovative editorial system and methodology dedicated to the publication of visual scientific articles and structured commentary data on digitised sources.

- Training editorial teams in the use of the IIIF standard in the context of scientific publications.
- Drafting of a review of the tools to be implemented at national level for the use of the IIIF standard in scientific publications.
- Development of an editorial annotation tool enabling the generation of IIIF manifests. This tool will offer the possibility of organising sets of visuals, annotations and data into sequences, in order to design a visual digital editorialisation of scientific content.
Major resuts
- Acculturation to the IIIF standard by researchers and publishers.
- Enhancement of the service offering of the national Métopes infrastructure and compatibility with Lodel.
