Data interoperability: EDM IIIF profile
...
- Solutions for representing Newspapers and Full-text have been also discussed as part of the deliverable D4.4 and the open issues document (see above).
- Since the publication of the deliverable in January 2016, the Europeana user stories were provided to the IIIF community and were discussed as part of the IIIF Newspaper Interest Group. Contributions to IIIF Newspapers Group http://iiif.io/community/groups/newspapers
- Folder with the minutes of past calls at https://goo.gl/jNFfVw
- Newspapers user stories: https://github.com/IIIF/iiif-stories/labels/newspapers
- Current draft of the IIIF Newspapers model is being discussed at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1di1uYGau_ABUPmhnOcd8KH5yZyHS1sDbiZrp5aTpx5M/
- Implementation Notes on IIIF Newspaper model: in https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzwwH42kMWgTcjNEN0tvdU00NDQ
- The first version of the EDM FullText Profile was prepared. The profile is compatible with IIIF annotations for full text: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t5yGEzQ0KV2rqU0sFDoKnI2bIDBGrmj0f1gSOCRUgJ4/
Further work on the full-text modelling could consist in updating those recommendations according to the most recent discussions of the IIIF Newspaper Interest Group and the Text Granularity Interest Group. - Europeana is going to publish published a newspaper cookbook (recipe as part of the IIIF cookbook, available at https://iiif.io/api/cookbook/)recipe/0068-newspaper/
