Test 5: Creating annotations

The goal of this test is to explore how you create new annotations in the Manifest Editor.

Materials

For this test, use this Manifest: https://wellcomelibrary.org/iiif/b1932795x/manifest

1. Loading a Manifest

Opening the URL above in the Manifest Editor.

2. Comment on something of interest

Find an interesting feature on a page of the journal. How would you make a commenting annotation on this feature?

Can you draw a box round it? Can you add some text?

3. Transcribe a piece of text

Find a brief run of text and transcribe it. In IIIF, a transcription has the motivation supplementing - can you set that?

Are you able to declare what language your text is in?

4. Create a link to a Wikipedia page

Find a mention of a city or other place in the Journal. Make a link from a box drawn around the text in the journal, to the Wikipedia page about that place. (This annotation should have the motivation linking)

5. Save your new Manifest to a permalink

Save a copy of this Manifest (you can’t save back to the original) and view it in Mirador.

6. Comments
