Auto Generate @id

The API will auto-generate the @id for an object if not provided or will transform the given @id to match the recommended pattern in the IIIF spec.

The @id will be parsed and transformed to match the IIIF_BASE_URL given in the app settings.

Although these are recommended patterns from the IIIF spec, our API strictly enforces these patterns. This allows us to perform the necessary transformations in a consistent manner.

IIIF Recommended URI Patterns: http://iiif.io/api/presentation/2.1/#a-summary-of-recommended-uri-patterns

Resource	URI Pattern
Collection	{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/collection/{name}
Manifest	{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/{identifier}/manifest
Sequence	{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/{identifier}/sequence/{name}
Canvas	{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/{identifier}/canvas/{name}
Annotation	{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/{identifier}/annotation/{name}
AnnotationList	{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/{identifier}/list/{name}
Range	{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/{identifier}/range/{name}
Layer	{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/{identifier}/layer/{name}
Content	{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/{identifier}/res/{name}.{format}

• (Example):
• An @id of http://example.org/iiif/book1/annotation/anno1 will be transformed in to http://localhost/presentation/book1/annotation/anno1 given that the value for IIIF_BASE_URL in the settings is http://localhost/presentation.
