Dickson Law edited this page Mar 14, 2018 · 2 revisions

IIIF Toolkit adds several new metadata elements to track IIIF-related information. Each element has an associated element set and an entry in Omeka options for its ID (the option slug).

Element Set: IIIF Collection Metadata

Metadata Name Option Slug Description
Original @id iiifitems_collection_atid_element If imported from an existing manifest, this holds the ID URI of the source.
IIIF Type iiifitems_collection_type_element Can be one of the following:
  • Default (currently same as Manifest)
  • Manifest (display as manifest, have Mirador viewer on its page)
  • Collection (display as collection, have Mirador viewer with tree view on its page)
  • Hidden (don't display as a manifest, no Mirador viewer on its page)
JSON Data iiifitems_collection_json_element If imported from an existing manifest, this holds the JSON that came from that manifest to serve as a foundation for regenerating a new manifest.
UUID iiifitems_collection_uuid_element A UUID generated for the collection that identifies it within this installation and after exporting to another installation.

Element Set: IIIF Item Metadata

Metadata Name Option Slug Description
Display as IIIF? iiifitems_item_display_element Can be one of the following:
  • Default (currently same as Always)
  • Always (display as a IIIF canvas on its own manifest and the Omeka collection it belongs to, have Mirador viewer on its page)
  • Never (don't display as a IIIF canvas, hide Mirador viewer on its page)
Original @id iiifitems_item_atid_element If imported from an existing manifest, this holds the ID URI of the original canvas.
JSON Data iiifitems_item_json_element If imported from an existing canvas, this holds the JSON that came from that canvas to serve as a foundation for regenerating a new canvas.
UUID iiifitems_item_uuid_element A UUID generated for the item that identifies it within this installation and after exporting to another installation.

Element Set: IIIF File Metadata

Metadata Name Option Slug Description
Original @id iiifitems_file_atid_element If imported from an existing manifest, this holds the ID URI of the original image annotation.
JSON Data iiifitems_file_json_element If imported from an existing image annotation, this holds the JSON that came from that image annotation to serve as a foundation for regenerating a new image annotation.

Item Type Metadata: Annotation

IIIF Toolkit also adds an additional "Annotation" item type (option slug iiifitems_annotation_item_type), which has the following metadata elements (under "Item Type Metadata"):

Metadata Name Option Slug Description
On Canvas iiifitems_annotation_on_element The UUID of the corresponding Omeka Item (canvas) that this annotation is attached to.
Selector iiifitems_annotation_selector_element The SVG boundary area of the annotation. With Mirador 2.3 or higher, multiple selectors are supported.
Text iiifitems_annotation_text_element Any textual data included in the document.
Annotated Region iiifitems_annotation_xywh_element The XYWH boundary area of the annotation (x and y coordinates of the top-left corner, with and height). Required for generating a preview. Can be coupled pairwise with the Selector element for Mirador 2.3 or higher.
