+
+## Interoperability
+- Interoperability provides the ability to mix and match tools
+- Allows developers to create open tools not wedded to closed standards
+- Excel vs. CSV
+
+## Storage implications 
+- No longer have to create small, medium, large derivatives
+
+## High quality images
+- Allows for zooming with high quality images without lag time
+
+## Reusable
+- Format of IIIF apis allow easy sharing, embedding
