Europeana is combining media resources and metadata from provided EDM into IIIF manifests. Each manifest is linked from edm:isShownBy and edm:hasView web resource(s) through the dcterms:isReferencedBy property and powers the display of media in the Europeana website. For providers who prefer to retain control over the display of their media resources, we continue to accept manifests created by them. In such cases, the provided manifest is preserved in the dcterms:isReferencedBy property and powers the display, taking precedence over the Europeana-created manifest.

Manifest is a central organising unit in IIIF and is accessible via URL that points to a document online (in JSON-LD format). We provide our manifests in Presentation API 2.1 (v2.1) by default. Version 3.0 (v3) manifests can be returned via content negotiation by sending an Each manifest contains information needed for IIIF-compatible viewers to display digital objects, such as the structure, grouping, and layout of media resources, as well as descriptive metadata and rights information. For the complete list of EDM properties included in Europeana manifests and how they are mapped to IIIF, please refer to the companion page “EDM to IIIF Mapping”. |
Structure of the Europeana Manifest
...
Our manifests enable users to view, manipulate, compare, and share digital objects that are published in Europeana. They can add annotations to media resources, mix up content from different providers, or even build new collections by organising manifests into groups. For instance, if a user wants to use an image from Europeana, they no longer need to search for the image URL in the data or download the image. Instead, they can simply use the manifest and load it into any IIIF-compliant viewer. Currently, all a user needs to retrieve the manifest is the Record ID, which is composed of the dataset and local identifier of the object: https://iiif.europeana.eu/presentation/{DATATSET_ID}/{RECORDLOCAL_ID}/manifest (you can test our IIIF API using API Console that supports API calls, including manifest retrieval).
