* When libraries expose their images to research communities, scholars are able to discover lots of new information.
* Libraries and museums that make their images available should be able to benefit from the data that research communities generate.
* Our Questions:
* How can research communities quickly alert holding institutions to SUPPLEMENTAL information about materials in their collections?
* How can we share this information in such a way that holding institutions can seamlessly re-use this SUPPLEMENTAL information to enrich their own collections and user experiences?
* Kinds of SUPPLEMENTAL information include:
* structural metadata, such as a table of contents
* a search service
* annotation layers, such as transcriptions, translations, and commentary

# Receiving and Using a Webmention
# Re-Creating Manifests with Webmention(ed) Supplements
## Possibilities
* Today, scholars around the world are building editions, translations, and commentaries for the world's cultural materials.
* Without common standards this data will be silo-ed in a scholarly print edition or a closed, one-off website.
* With the right work flow and with common standards this information can be shared and re-used throughout the world.
