The creation of IIIF resource types such as Manifests and Collections. SIPI takes care of the IIIF Image API 3.0, but we will still need to create IIIF resources compatible with the IIIF Presentation API 3.0.
In conjunction with #30 for accessing our resources, we also need a consistent URI schema. For instance:
| Type | URI example |
|---|---|
| Digital representation of an object (with content negotiation) | https://participatory-archives.ch/entity/<ID> |
| PIA central API | https://data.participatory-archives.ch/entity/<ID> |
| Linked Art API | https://linkedart.participatory-archives.ch/entity/<ID> |
| IIIF Image API | https://iiif.participatory-archives.ch/<ID>/info.json |
| IIIF Presentation API (Manifest/Collection) | https://iiif.participatory-archives.ch/<ID>/manifest.json |
| Controlled Vocabularies | https://vocab.participatory-archives.ch/vocabulary/<ID> |

Checklist:
Sometimes, we don't have yet the digitised picture available, or only the analogue format could be available, or the digital image was deleted but we want to keep the metadata.
Like bibliographic records, it should be possible to have objects without an attached resource (image, audio, video).
As a user, I would like to contribute to the PIA project by annotating the (digital) objects.

Anna Wuetrich ist Fotografiestudentin im Bachelor und hat über Instagram von der neuen Ähnlichkeitssuche des SGV Archivs erfahren. Sie möchte einige ihrer eigenen Bilder hochladen um zu sehen was passiert.
Das Archiv erreicht durch diesen Schritt, dass, ausgehend von den persönlichen Bildern der Nutzenden, personenspezifische Zugänge in verschiedene Sammlungen entstehen. Einen Zugang den herkömmliche Archive nicht gewähren können, da stets das historische Material als Einstiegspunkt dient.

As a user, I would like to be able to view the photos, digital or analogue, on a timeline.
Sorting images per given metadata field (subject, location, format, etc.)
A request was made by Team C to be able to arrange and display on a timeline images by year or decade during the workshop, especially for the SGV_12 Ernst Brunner collection which is fully digitised. For this particular collection, about 47,800 images were digitised and according to Salsah, ca. 38,850 of those records contain a date (within the hasDate property) .
However, it is not possible to get a chronologically ordered list of all the images without looking up the database. A given downloaded resource do indeed contain (in its header by searching for the appropriate XMP metadata fields) the date when it was digitised but not when it was taken by the photographer (if known).
Team B has been in the process of extracting all metadata and data related to the PIA project (SGV_05, SGV_10 and SGV_12) from Salsah and is in collaboration with the DaSCH that manages the virtual research environment. Lukas Rosenthaler created a Python script - that we've slightly modified - and with the following command, we can extract all images in TIFF and their associated metadata in XML:
python3 salsah2xml.py -P sgv -s 4102 --start 0 --nrows -1 --filter sgv:in_collection={ID} --download --write-metadata --restype sgv:image {username} {password} https://www.salsah.orgIf we've been able to extract all the images from the SGV_12, we are still in the process of extracting only the metadata as the batch process sometimes encounters invalid characters (such as backspaces) and makes the script breaks and unable to write XML.
Once we will have all the associated metadata in XML, we can extract the name of the file (equivalent to its SGV Signature) and the date by using the XML2 utility to a CSV file (very useful for extracting non-repeatable XML tags, attributes and values) rather than waiting for a specific script that will be done for exporting all metadata to a dedicated PIA database.
brew install xml2xml2 < input.xml | 2csv resource @id @label date > output.csvFor adding or modifying metadata in the header of a given image, we can use ExifTool. The XMP metadata fields that we could potentially change are:
xmp:MetadataDate or;xmp:ModifyDate(slightly better than xmp:MetadataDate as according to the XMP specification, it should be the same or more recent than xmp:ModifyDate)The entries must comply with the W3C datetime practice (which is basically based on ISO 8601). For instance, we can enter a year (YYYY), a year and month (YYYY-MM), a complete date (YYYY-MM-DD) and even something more precise with hours, minutes and seconds. What we can't do is enter a range such as a decade or a rough guess like "19XX", "between 1920 and 1930" or "1985?", something that is a common practice within bibliographical and archival records.
brew install exiftoolexiftool -s -G {name}.{format}xmp:ModifyDate): exiftool -ModifyDate={newdate} {name.format}A batch associating the metadata extracted from the Salsah export by embedding it in the image headers via one or more ExifTool commands will need to be developed to automate the process.
As a user, I would like to be able to search in an exploratory manner using a story branch based on the image similarity access point.

dct:subject (perhaps and preferably with a controlled vocabulary)dct:isPartOf or schema:isSimilarTo or with similar tags contained in dct:subject (or even created automatically with ML)Our URIs, and especially those related to the digital objects, should be persistent. I suggest to assign Archival Resource Keys (ARKs) as they can be easily used in conjunction with the IIIF URI syntax:
| Syntax | URI |
|---|---|
| ARK | [https://NMA/]ark:NAAN/Name[Qualifier] |
| IIIF Image Request | {scheme}://{server}{/prefix}/{identifier}/{region}/{size}/{rotation}/{quality}.{format} |
| IIIF Image Information | {scheme}://{server}{/prefix}/{identifier}/info.json |
| IIIF Resource (Manifest) | {scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/{identifier}/manifest |
| ARK+IIIF Example 1 a | https://iiif.participatory-archives.ch/ark:NAAN/<imageID>/full/max/0/default.jpg |
| ARK+IIIF Example 1 b | https://iiif.participatory-archives.ch/ark:NAAN/<imageID>/info.json |
| ARK+IIIF Example 2 | https://iiif.participatory-archives.ch/ark:NAAN/<objectID>/manifest.json |
Existing implementations that use IIIF in conjunction with ARK identifiers:
Maybe it could be interesting to fork SIPI?
In order to work better with the smaller pre-prototypes but also to go into the direction of linked data we need to implement a json api. For now we'll use the https://jsonapi.org standard.
