IIIF Linking Manifest

Part of IIIF Pages

The seeAlso property in the IIIF Manifest is used to link to human readable data for the specimen. The CETAF ID makes a good link to the catalogue page for the specimen.

 "seeAlso": [
    {
      "id": "https://data.rbge.org.uk/herb/E00588402#html",
      "type": "Text",
      "label": {
        "en": [
          "Catalogue page for this specimen."
        ]
      },
      "format": "text/html"
    },
   ...    
  ],

Recommendation: Include a seeAlso resource in the Manifest resource object for the specimen with the id set to the CETAF ID for the specimen. Set the type property to “Text” and the format to “text/html”. Append the anchor #html to the end of the URI.

Recommendation: Include an English language label for the link plus labels in as many other languages as appropriate for the collections location.
