Problems to solve:
- Native support in iiif for associated spatial data
- Propagation of derivatives along the continuum from paper to spatial data
- Connecting iiif resources to a rich ecosystem of existing spatial data platforms, APIs and libraries
- Converting paper-based cartographic information into computationally accessible data
Harrison, Richard Edes. Floor of the World Ocean.

iiif+maps mission
- Make spatial data "iiif native"
- Make iiif cartographic resources "spatial data" resources

navPlace extension
navPlace addresses the need to associate geography with iiif resources,
whether they are maps, or not!
navPlace makes iiif spatial metadata accessible to broadly accepted mapping platforms, APIs & libraries...
(like leaflet.js, openlayers.js, etc...)
