Abstract:

The International Image Interoperability Framework（IIIF）provides a solution for

the unified publication of ancient book image resources by defining a set of common application

programming interface specifications to ensure the interoperability and accessibility of global image

storage. Through web survey and case study， this paper reveals the resource themes， publication

forms and functions of the digital repository of ancient images based on IIIF， and summarizes the

value and challenges of IIIF in the integration and reuse of ancient book image resources， intelligent

applications and the transformation of ancient book publishing. At the same time， this paper provides

an in-depth discussion on the content construction of the ancient books repository， the application

and deepening research of IIIF， and the standardization and service level of the publishing industry

to help promote the transformation and development of IIF-based digital publishing of ancient books

and ancient books research.
