EDM to IIIF Mapping
- Maša Škrinjar
- Hugo Manguinhas
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 manifest” section. This will provide you with a complete overview of all available fields.
Europeana IIIF manifest v3
IIIF Field | IIIF Datatype | Mapping from EDM |

IIIF Field | IIIF Datatype | Mapping from EDM |
---|---|---|
Manifest | ||
label | Array (Language Map) | Title of the object obtained from ore:Proxy/dc:title, or, if title is missing, its description obtained from ore:Proxy/dc:description. |
summary | Array (Language Map) | Description of the object obtained from ore:Proxy/dc:description, but only added if title is present. |
metadata | Array (Metadata Property) | Portion of the metadata that might be used to convey ownership information, information about the creation of the object or physical characteristics of the object for display purposes. In the case of Europeana, a specific set of EDM fields is used to obtain the information about the object. See Metadata Property. |
thumbnail | Array (Thumbnail) | Smaller image that pictorially represents the object obtained from ore:Aggregation/edm:preview. |
navDate | String (xsd:dateTime) | Date that can be used for navigation purposes when presenting the resource to the user in a time-based user interface, such as a calendar or timeline. In the case of Europeana, this is date of formal issuance or publication of the object obtained from ore:Proxy/dcterms:issued. |
homepage | Array (Homepage) | Webpage where the object represented by the manifest is displayed and is usually published by the organisation responsible for the object. The value of the ore:Aggregation/edm:isShownAt can be used. In the case of Europeana, the value obtained from ore:Aggregation/edm:landingPage is used. See Homepage. |
requiredStatement | Object (Attribution Statement) | Text that must be shown when web resources for this object are displayed or used. It should include the title, date of issue or publication, acknowledgement of the owning and/or publishing organisation and rights statement. Europeana manifests use the text obtained from the text attribution snippet associated with the edm:isShownBy web resource. See Attribution Statement. |
rights | Object (Rights) | Rights statement that governs the reuse possibilities for this object obtained from ore:Aggregation/edm:rights. See Rights. |
provider | Array (Provider) | Acknowledges the creator of the manifest. Europeana manifests indicate Europeana as the creator of the manifest. See Provider. |
seeAlso | Array (Dataset) | Machine-readable resource related to the manifest that could be used, for example, for search and discovery purposes. A link to a manifest that describes a related object could also be a valid target for this property. In the case of Europeana, it is used to indicate references for accessing the source metadata for the object (i.e. provided EDM) in the available formats. See Dataset. |

annotations | Array (Full-text Page) | For some objects, there may be other resources available to display (e.g. transcriptions, commentary annotations, tags, etc). If there is at least one full-text resource associated with the canvas, it is included in this property in the form of an annotation with the motivation value set to “transcribing”. |
items | Array (Painting Annotation) | List of painting annotations that are modelling construct for “painting” content into the canvas. See Painting Annotation. |
