@bert I'll be there; I'm coming in on the Tuesday afternoon flight from Edinburgh, and then I'll be at the Comfort Hotel Xpress Stockholm Central. My focus so far has been trying to identify good Commons categories for maps based on bounding boxes for the georeferencing. I've now got reasonable code to do that for the UK & Ireland -- see the pages here <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:MC_upload_prep_pages> for preparations, and hoping to get some uploading going soon. The rest of the world <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:MC_map_identification-in-progress> outside the UK is more work-in-progress, and I could use some input from people with local knowledge to try to achieve appropriate similar refinement. I am or will be doing Wikidata matching for all the fields I can, but initially with a view to writing to Wikidata-driven field templates in conventional file description pages, rather than SDC statements. These should be easy enough to translate into matching SDC statements when the time comes, but at the moment my intention would be to wait until QuickStatements is available for bulk writing of statements, and a SPARQL service for systematic retrieval, before any systematic creation of SDC statements. I am interested by IIIF, but don't know enough about it. Later versions of the Klokan georeferencer use IIIF for all their tile serving (ie including maps layers and the image to be georeferenced). The GLAM I am working with would very much like to move from its images from Klokan's IIIF service to an IIIF service provided by WikiCommons, and use that to feed the Klokan georeferencer; but that would need enterprise-level throughput robustness and reliability, which the present WMF Labs prototype just doesn't deliver. There are some indications that a proper IIIF service might be provided by an upcoming revision of the Wiki Multimedia service, but at the moment no hard timeline or guarantees. The other aspect of IIIF would be how to expose georeferencing information as IIIF annotations. I really know *very* little about the IIIF annotation syntax, other than that it exists. But if this looked plausible (and could be made compatible with offerings from other services, eg Klokan and Recogito, it could be quite interesting.
