Hi all - this is the followup from Ben Brumfield, to whom I reported our
brief discussion on the phone call:
--------------
Our Github organization is at https://github.com/IIIF-TEI-Exploratory-Group
We've got a single repository with fixtures and issues that we're working
with, and would welcome any help or comments. Of course Nick and I are
working on this in nights and weekends, so progress may be slow.
--------------
He mentions that Jeffrey Witt is interested in this topic as well. It's not
clear if either Nick or Ben are coming to Vancouver. Also, there is no
workshop on IIIF.
best, --elli

Hi all - I went to the IIIF meeting at DH in Montréal. It consisted of a few people who want to work with IIIF and TEI, continuing the discussion that was started on the list.
Two with most experience were Ben Brumfield and Nick Laiacona, there were some others there as well. One of the other members of the group is very interested in referencing zones on an image for ex. and felt stymied by TEI recommnedations as he needed something that matched IIIF notation for zones to work.
Ben and Nick have offered to develop some example implementations of IIIF and TEI. Nick's already made progress on TEI client that displays images using IIIF, while I've been working on IIIF manifests that render text using TEI.
As i understand it, we have two approaches - 1 is to encode using a TEI document, and use IIIF to display images or zones, and 2. is to start from IIIF and use TEI to display tex. (please tell me if I am wrong)
So, if we continue this discussion we may be trying to learn enough to write recommendations for how to get your TEI to interact with IIIF, and also to think about how/if to make sure that TEI provides whatever IIIF might need to talk TEI.
Does Council want to give them the go ahead and commit to consider the mechanics of this pairing?
Thanks, --elli
