Would a IIIF server pull resources from DSpace, or does the server provide an alternative view of a DSpace item?
Can a IIIF manifest be used to express relationships between bitstreams? If so, are all of those bitstreams part of one item?
I understand that a IIIF server can work with dynamically generated tiles and pre-generated tiles. I assume that a DSpace integration would need to work with either option.
We would be interested in providing a book reader view through IIIF.
- Currently, we store PDF bitstreams and use a JavaScript library to render the PDF as a book. These PDFs were generated from TIF files created during digitization.
- I presume that we would continue to offer a PDF bitstream for download AND we would generate image tiles from the source TIF files.

User Story Suggestions from Ben Brumfield

From the perspective of a IIIF client trying to reuse material on a DSpace repository, here are the minimum features needed to work

A IIIF client sees a top-level collection for the DSpace installation listing collections. (TODO: example IIIF collections URL, existing DSpace site with example IIIF Collection manifest json file corresponding to it)
An IIIF client sees a collection manifest listing sub collections
An IIIF client sees a sub-collection collection manifest listing items as IIIF manifest links
An IIIF client sees a manifest corresponding to an item (TODO real world item with example manifest containing metadata, labels, seeAlso services, and canvases)

A IIIF client sees available image parameters at by calling info.json on the image service for a single page
A IIIF client can display a single page image at Level 0 Compliance
