IIIF is  becoming a "de facto" standard for image interoperability. Many
libraries and other institutions are aligning to the IIIF framework for image
visualization. It will very usefull If we can incorporate to the OPAC
bibliographic record, the visualization of images representing the documents
using IIIF manifests or using images served in IIIF compatible image servers.
Today you can upload images linked to bibliographic records and you can
visualize those images as part of the bibliographic record detailed view.
With IIIF compatibility, that option can be very open interoperating with
images collections that represent the bibliographic record. That will give KOHA
a natural connection with digital representations of documents in a
descentralized and interoperable way. There are client side solutions as
openseadragon and others. The digital representations of documents in images
can be in any IIIF images server and collections of images can be linked trough
the manifest standarized in the IIIF presentation API. Other LIS are
incorporating IIIF interoperability.
