The goal of this test is to create a Manifest for a book out of existing, hosted IIIF Image Services.
In this scenario the images have already been made available via the IIIF Image API. You have been given a list of image services for the digitised pages.
As a digitised book, there is some additional useful information beyond the sequence of images. We want it to render correctly when viewed in bookreader-type viewers that can show page openings.
To avoid too much work, this is a very short book! The image services you'll need are listed on this page, ready for copying: https://digirati-co-uk.github.io/me-testing/03-image-services.html
We recommend re-opening this page in a separate window now, as further links in the tasks ahead will replace it in the test browser window.
Auto-open URL: https://digirati-co-uk.github.io/me-testing/03-image-services.html
Visit https://manifest-editor-testing.netlify.app/.
If you have never been here before, you'll see a Splash Screen, which you can dismiss. If you have been here before, your settings might automatically load the manifest you last worked on.
Either way, start a new Manifest with File -> New, and pick "Blank Manifest".
For each of the IIIF Image Services, add a new Canvas, one by one. Find the simplest way to add a Canvas. You shouldn't need any information other than each image service URL in the list.
Once you have added 5 canvases or so, see what your work would like in the Universal Viewer, and in Mirador, by using the Preview feature.
Send a preview link to a friend, so they can see what it looks like too. (You can send to yourself for the test).
Add the remaining images services, in the same way as before - as new canvases.

Give your Manifest the following Label, in Italian:
Una modificazione nelle forbici chirurgiche
Also provide the label in English:
A modification in surgical scissors
Give your Manifest a Description, in English.
By Fabrizj, Paolo, 1806-1859. 13 pages, 1 unnumbered folded plate : illustrations ; 23 cm
Pick a Rights Statement for your manifest.
Give each canvas a Label - use the printed page number, where it's visible in the image.
For these numerals as labels, set the language to none
.
Add some pairs of metadata (labels and values) to the Manifest. For example, include information about the Author, and where and when it was published. Add a few metadata fields to the manifest, and try re-ordering these fields.
Preview the effects of these changes as you go, in Mirador and Universal Viewer.
We need to provide information to viewer software that this is a printed book in the correct page layout.

While the preview link is useful, it only lasts for 48 hours. This version of the Manifest is integrated with a "permalink" service. Save your work more permanently, and send a link to the saved IIIF Manifest to a friend (or yourself).
You would like to use this Manifest in a tool that only supports IIIF Presentation 2.
While you can't save in this form to the permalink service, you can still generate the IIIF Presentation 2 Manifest and download it.
Find where to export the manifest in the IIIF Presentation 2 format and download it to your computer.
