This is an Annotation Server which is compatible with IIIF and Mirador. This Annotation Server includes a copy of Mirador so you can get started creating annotations straight away. The annotations are stored as linked data in an Apache Jena triple store.

Requires:

• Java 1.7
• maven

To begin working with Mirador and the Simple Annotation Server do the following:

• Download code

git clone https://github.com/glenrobson/SimpleAnnotationServer.git

• Move into the SimpleAnnotationServer directory.

cd SimpleAnnotationServer

• Start the jetty http server

mvn jetty:run

• Start Annotating

Navigate to http://localhost:8888/index.html

You should now see Mirador with the default example objects. You can choose any manifest to start annotating.

For further details on the SimpleAnnotationServer see:

• Adding your own Manifests
• Populating the Annotation Store with IIIF Annotation List
• Developing Mirador with SimpleAnnotationServer
• Deploying to tomcat

Note this project doesn't currently contain Authentication or Versioning of Annotations. If your looking for these functions have a look at Triannon from Stanford or Catch from Harvard.

Thanks to:

• azaroth42 for help with JsonLd framing and other useful tips.
• Illtud and Paul for help with testing and fixing build problems.
• Dan for introducing me to Apache Jena

and finally thanks to the IIIF and Mirador communities which make all this cool stuff possible.
