Interoperability Consulting (IIIF, OAI-PMH, and much more)

Implement and extend interoperability frameworks that make metadata and media discoverable across systems. From custom IIIF manifest builders to OAI-PMH endpoints and connectors for AtoM, ArchivesSpace, or Rednal, we help collections speak the same digital language—without requiring teams to code.

service Overview

Our interoperability consulting bridges the gaps between repositories, metadata schemas, and preservation frameworks. Whether aligning IIIF manifests, harvesting with OAI-PMH, or building APIs for legacy and modern systems, we focus on making your digital assets portable, discoverable, and standards-compliant—so your collections can move freely across platforms without losing their context or integrity.

OUR PROCESS

Our process focuses on uniting disconnected systems through open standards like IIIF and OAI-PMH—building the pathways that make cultural data truly discoverable.

01 Discovery

We begin by analyzing how your repositories, metadata structures, and delivery systems interact—or fail to. Through targeted audits and stakeholder discussions, we uncover the points of friction that prevent your collections from communicating effectively and identify opportunities to align them under open, standards-based frameworks.

02 Strategy

Building on our findings, we create a roadmap for seamless interoperability tailored to your environment. This includes choosing the right standards—IIIF, OAI-PMH, APIs, or custom schemas—and outlining governance policies that balance institutional control with cross-platform collaboration.

03 Design

We design data models, manifest structures, and API workflows that define how information moves between systems. Every element is documented and aligned with existing metadata frameworks, ensuring that your data remains authoritative, traceable, and easy to exchange with partners.

04 Implementation

Our team configures and deploys the technical components that bring interoperability to life—from IIIF manifest builders to OAI-PMH endpoints and secure repository connectors. We test integrations iteratively to ensure reliability, scalability, and minimal disruption to existing infrastructure.

05 Validation

Each system interaction undergoes rigorous testing to confirm metadata accuracy, transfer reliability, and compliance with chosen standards. We document every validation result, giving your institution clear evidence of data integrity and long-term sustainability.

06 Delivery & Stewardship

We conclude with detailed documentation, workflow diagrams, and training that empower your team to maintain and expand integrations independently. By establishing repeatable processes and governance models, we ensure your interoperability strategy continues to evolve with your digital ecosystem.
