Below, you'll find two tables documenting how objects described in EDM can be represented within the IIIF framework. These documents can serve as a valuable resource for individuals interested in crafting their own IIIF manifest from EDM. Please note the mappings do not encompass every field available. For a more exhaustive list, we encourage you to consult the IIIF API Documentation, specifically Response v3 and v2.1 in the Retrieving a manifestsection. This will provide you with a complete overview of all available fields.
