### The E-codices Manifest [http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/metadata/iiif/kba-WettF0015/manifest.json](http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/metadata/iiif/kba-WettF0015/manifest.json) or [http://lombardpress.org/assets/e-codices-rothwell-example.json](http://lombardpress.org/assets/e-codices-rothwell-example.json) View this in a mirador viewer [http://mirador.scta.info](http://mirador.scta.info) and you will see images coming from Switzerland and a table of contents, search service, and transcriptions (at least on folio 107v) coming from Baltimore.
### Minting of Canvas Ids ``` { "@id": "http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/metadata/iiif/kba-WettF0015/canvas/kba-WettF0015_e005a.json", "@type": "sc:Canvas", "label": "bindingEa", "height": 6496, "width": 4872, "images": [{ "@id": "http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/metadata/iiif/kba-WettF0015/annotation/kba-WettF0015_e005a.json", "@type": "oa:Annotation", "motivation": "sc:painting", "on": "http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/metadata/iiif/kba-WettF0015/canvas/kba-WettF0015_e005a.json", "resource": { "@id":"http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/loris/kba/kba-WettF0015/kba-WettF0015_e005a.jp2/full/full/0/default.jpg", "@type": "dctypes:Image", "format": "image/jpeg", "height": 6496, "width": 4872, "service": { "@context": "http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json", "@id": "http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/loris/kba/kba-WettF0015/kba-WettF0015_e005a.jp2", "profile": "http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json" } } }] } ```
### Identifying canvases IDs is not as daunting as it might seem. It usually involves identifying the canvas base `http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/metadata/iiif/kba-WettF0015/canvas/` and then recognizing the changing pattern for each canvas `kba-WettF0015_e005a.json`. Note - Bodleian manuscripts are using hashes, so there will be no predictable pattern for associating canvas ids with folio pages. The point - The publication of supplemental material requires the collection of canvas ids and their association with the published supplemental data.
### Manifests (for the time being) need to publish an endpoint where they can receive updates about new information ```json service": [{ "@context": "https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/", "@id": "http://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/webmention/receive", "profile": "http://w3.org/TR/webmention", "label": "e-codices Webmention Service" } ``` In the future, there might be a central hub or central inbox that would negate this requirement. For the purposes of a present demo, this step can be skipped if the listening endpoint is already known.
Once the announcement has been made, an institution can incorporate this data by dynamically constructing a manifest from known distributed sources. In the following manifest: [http://lombardpress.org/assets/e-codices-rothwell-example.json](http://lombardpress.org/assets/e-codices-rothwell-example.json) See lines 61-66 of ecodices manifest from search block.
