SharedCanvas: principles
• Producing an XML manifest for each document which is listing avaliable ressources (one or several digitals docs, EAD record, Mandragore descirptions, links to partner institutions)
• Each data producer is issuing its own manifest, linked to the unique ID created by the library hosting the digital surrogate. Partners can choose (or not) to mention other manifests in their owns
• The manifest is also indentifying precisely the image or part of image from which an annotation/editing has been made, so the final user can go back to the original image.
• This datamodel was originally suggested by libraries which are regurlarly involved in new collaborative projects with very low standardization regarding the exchange of digital images.
