Annotations

Creating an Annotation that highlights a region of Media

Following guidelines from the W3C Web Annotations model and the presentation v3 specifications, a valid annotation in presentation v3 should look like this:

      "annotations": [
        {
          "id": "https://digital.lib.utk.edu/assemble/manifest/galston/696/canvas/0/annotations",
          "type": "AnnotationPage",
          "items": [
            {
              "id": "https://digital.lib.utk.edu/assemble/manifest/galston/696/canvas/0/annotations/1",
              "type": "Annotation",
              "motivation": "commenting",
              "body": {
                "type": "TextualBody",
                "language": "en",
                "value": "Money or bomb?"
              },
              "target": "https://digital.lib.utk.edu/assemble/manifest/galston/696/canvas/0#xywh=3883,1716,143,192"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]

The AnnotationPage cannot have a label and the value of annotations.items.[#].body.type must be valid towards the W3C Web Annotations model.

The annotations section should be in the top level items section as a peer to id, type, width, height, etc.

  "items": [
    {
      "id": "https://digital.lib.utk.edu/assemble/manifest/galston/696/canvas/0",
      "type": "Canvas",
      "label": {
        "none": [
          "Sketch of Gottfried Galston performing at a concert"
        ]
      },
      "width": 7291,
      "height": 3788,
      "items": [
      ],
      "annotations": [
      ]
    }
  ],
