Tools for creating manifests?

[Levy, Michael]

Have people been working on code libraries for creating IIIF manifests?

Let's say one has a database or a DAMS or something that provides an API that could be queried for images, collections, or collections-of-collections of images. In principal it wouldn't seem too hard to build up the manifest(s) oneself. However, if someone has already started to put together a code library,  it might ease the learning curve a lot.

At this point our most important use case doesn't involve an image server or tiling or annotations--just a good way to present hierarchical collections. We're looking at the Universal Viewer because of its built-in support for displaying collections.

Hi Michael,

We use the iiif-presentation gem to help generate manifests for our image objects at Stanford coming from our PURL service:

https://github.com/IIIF/osullivan

The magic is happening here:

https://github.com/sul-dlss/purl/blob/master/app/models/iiif_presentation_manifest.rb

The Shimmy gem also uses the gem the same generator:

An example of a manifest creation: https://github.com/mejackreed/shimmy/blob/master/lib/shimmy/shims/nypl_api.rb#L23-L64

Hi Michael,

There are some links to library resources on Jason Ronallo's IIIF-awesome page:

https://github.com/jronallo/awesome-iiif#presentation-api-libraries

What language do you need?

There's also Java:

https://github.com/datazuul/iiif-presentation-api

And .NET (although this needs some work)

https://github.com/digirati-co-uk/iiif-model

and a few others out there too.

...and of course the reference Python impl:

https://github.com/IIIF/iiif-prezi

(sorry, thought that was in the list already)

And in Python, the equivalent is iiif-prezi:

To install it:   pip install iiif-prezi

The code:  https://github.com/iiif/iiif-prezi/

And a short example:  https://github.com/IIIF/iiif-prezi/blob/master/examples/build-from-directory.py

Hi Michael,

We have developed a Java-based manifests creator for our HMML images. However it's somewhat specific for our institution at this point and not quite ready to share with the rest of the world. Hopefully we'll have it documented and more configurable sometime later this year.

Best,
William

Here's the tool we're using/developing at the Carnegie Museum of Art.

https://github.com/cmoa/iiif_s3

It's a ruby library for taking a list of metadata and images and converting it to manifests, along with creating the image API documents and the derivative images, and then hosting the whole thing on S3.

It's also still reasonably specific to our needs, but I keep working to make it less specific and more generic.

Michael, it sounds like you are trying to assemble manifests in the browser from a variety of sources. Here's a Node.js library I put together that may be a helpful starting point:

Thanks to Jack, Tom, Robert, William, David, and Shaun. All of your messages are very helpful and much appreciated. Lots to study and think about here. I'll get back when I need more help.
