| Shrnutí: | Mmmonk was a collaborative project between the Public Library of Bruges, Ghent University Library, Diocese of Ghent and Major Seminary Ten Duinen in Bruges. The aim was to improve digital access to some 820 medieval manuscripts from four abbeys in Ghent and Bruges. This included digitising manuscripts, creating metadata and collecting manifests from external collections. For this, Mmmonk used IIIF, a digital innovation for more sustainable and efficient management and use of digital images. Moreover, Mmmonk contributed to the development of IIIF by experimenting with metadata aggregation and the visualisation of annotations on medieval manuscripts. On 17 February 2022, Mmmonk organised a closing event at - KBR focusing on manuscripts and IIIF. In the morning, team members presented the Mmmonk project. After lunch, there was the 8th session of IIIF Fridays, with examples of IIIF implementation in data management and research. All presentations were recorded and are available on Mmmonk.be. |
