Digital Manuscript Interoperability for Tools and Repositories
Overview:
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation funded numerous manuscript digitization projects over several decades
All had in common: • Inability to share data across silos to satisfy scholarly use • Inability to leverage existing infrastructure • No sustainability model for data or access
Goal: • Interoperability between repositories and tools

Silos: What You Can Do
Parker on the Web
• Access data from a single repository
• Use the tools that repository supports
• See images in the way that repository allows
• See curated descriptions of the material
• See approved additional material
• Search within a single repository
• Browse within a single repository

Silos: What You Can’t Do
Parker on the Web
• Access data from any other repositories|
• Use any other tools
• See images any other way
• Contribute or correct descriptions
• Add additional material or comments
• Search across repositories

Defining Interoperability
• Break down silos • Separate data from applications • Share data models and
programming interfaces • Enable interactions at the tool and
repository level

Infrastructure: Library and Application Interoperability
• Digital “stacks” • Repository manifest • Application programming interface • Linked-data technologies (SharedCanvas data model)

Motivating Questions
Many implicit assumptions: • What is a Manuscript? • What is its relation to a facsimile? • What is the relation of a transcription
of a facsimile to the original object?
What does this mean for digital tools?
• How do we rethink digital facsimiles in a shared, distributed, global space?
• How do we enable collaboration and encourage engagement?

Vision
Digital surrogates enable remote research • Improve preservation of original,
and digital preservation of surrogate • Promotes collaboration via shared
annotations and descriptions
A collaborative future: • Rich landscape of interconnected
repositories, with seamless user interfaces
• Improve efficiency and usability through open, shared development

Canvas Paradigm
• A Canvas is an empty space in which to build up a display • A SharedCanvas's top left and bottom right corners correspond to the equivalent corners of a folio
An Interoperable Framework for Digital MSS Parker Library, 9th of September 2011, Cambridge, England
21
Technology: Open Annotation
• http://www.openannotation.org/
• Focus on interoperable sharing of annotations • Web-centric and open, not locked down silos
• Annotation used for: • Scholarly commentary about the manuscript • Painting resources on the SharedCanvas
• Hardest part: Define what an Annotation is! • "Aboutness" is key to distinguish from general metadata
A document that describes how one resource is about one or more other resources, or part thereof.

22
Open Annotation Model
• Annotation (a document) • Body (the ‘comment’ of the annotation) • Target (the resource the Body is ‘about’)

Summary
Model: Canvas paradigm provides a coherent solution to modeling the layout of medieval manuscripts
• Annotations, and Collaboration, at the heart of the model
Implementation: • Distribution across repositories for images, text, commentary • Consistent methods to access content from many repositories • Encourages tool development by experts in the field
The SharedCanvas model implemented by distributed repositories brings the humanist's primary research objects to their desktop in a powerful, extensible and interoperable fashion
