On 1 June, the RegInfra team and Dr. Rainer Simon are invited to take part in the Showcase Day of the 2026 IIIF Annual Conference & Showcase, where they presented IMMARKUS in both a showcase talk and a showcase workshop.
In this workshop, participants gain hands-on experience with the research and creative arts applications of IMMARKUS (immarkus.xmarkus.org), a semantic IIIF image annotation service designed by the presenters. IMMARKUS supports commercial, open, and custom-designed AI models to select image parts, transcribe, extract, and translate text in various languages. From the built-in knowledge graph, users can visualize and query image annotations, relationships, and metadata, and export results for further data analysis. We will also show new development, including entity and event extraction from image-based materials and the combination of IIIF image regions into online creative logs.
