How to Create a IIIF Manifest

Use FairData to make a IIIF manifest.

In this video, Performant’s Nick Laiacona demonstrates how to create a IIIF manifest using our open source, online database called FairData. [Please note– FairData is the new name for CoreData, you’ll hear Nick refer to “CoreData” in the video.]

IIIF Manifests are very useful for digital projects involving manuscripts, printed materials, and artwork. By providing metadata about your images, structuring your images into a sequence, and allowing links to annotations, IIIF Manifests open up possibilities for access, annotation, and collaboration.To get access to FairData, go to the Performant Studio page and sign up for a free 30-day trial account.
