Quire Features in Development - Feb 2021

[Erin-Cecele]

The Quire team at Getty is hard at work developing new features to expand Quire's functionality. Thanks to feedback from our beta community, and in response to Getty's own digital publishing projects, we continue improving Quire from the installation process and overall architecture to ongoing enhancements for web accessibility. Below, you will find more information on features currently in development.

To stay up-to-date on these and other forthcoming developments, please sign up for our monthly newsletter.

• IIIF Image Tiling

  Adds deep-zooming to any image, using the open IIIF specification. Either point Quire to an existing IIIF repository or add high-resolution images into a Quire project directly.

• Multi-level Subsections

  Enables Quire publications to be authored with an arbitrary depth of content subsections supported by the table of contents and content navigation.

• 360º Images

  Implements 360° rotating images as a standard feature for Quire publications.

• Deep Linking

  Implements functionality for deep linking to IIIF image regions and image annotation layers within a Quire publication.

• Accordion Sections

  Allows sections of primary content to be collapsed/expanded by a reader. Accordion sections are defined by an author using Quire markup short-codes and templates.

• Catalogue Filters

  Adds a set of HTML user interface elements to online Quire publications that allow a reader to update the objects displayed, showing only those that match the selected filter criteria. Catalogue filters will be based on the object meta-data fields defined in the objects.yml, and the display of filters will be configurable by authors.
