Overview•  SharedCanvas: •  Requirements •  Model by Example•  Evaluation in CATCHPlus: •  Use Cases •  Modeling Evaluating SharedCanvas 2 SDH2011, 17th of November 2011, Copenhagen, Denmark

MotivationManuscripts spread all around the world:•  For every repository, its interface.•  How do we rethink digital facsimiles in a shared, distributed, global space?A collaborative future:•  Rich landscape of interconnected repositories, with seamless user interfaces•  Improve efficiency and usability through open, shared development BNF f.fr 113, folio 1 recto Evaluating SharedCanvas 3 SDH2011, 17th of November 2011, Copenhagen, Denmark

Baseline RequirementsTo Realize this Future:•  Need an interoperable input format to presentation systems, exposed by distributed repositoriesBaseline Requirements:•  Ability to model primarily textual items, where the individual physical instance is an important cultural object•  Alignment of multiple Images, Texts, Commentary and other Content resources per folio Ms MurF: 10.5076/e-codices-kba-0003 Evaluating SharedCanvas 4 SDH2011, 17th of November 2011, Copenhagen, Denmark

Canvas Paradigm•  A Canvas is an empty space in which to build up a display•  A SharedCanvass top left and bottom right corners correspond tothe equivalent corners of a page Evaluating SharedCanvas 10 SDH2011, 17th of November 2011, Copenhagen, Denmark

Painting the Canvas?Requirements: •  Need to allow distributed association of resources with the Canvas, or part of the Canvas •  Any type of resource, or part of a resource, should be able to be painted •  Need to allow users to comment about the Canvas, or part of it, or any of the resourcesSolution: •  Associate resources using Annotations •  Open Annotation: http://www.openannotation.org/ Evaluating SharedCanvas 11 SDH2011, 17th of November 2011, Copenhagen, Denmark

SummaryDistributed Canvas paradigm provides a coherent solution to modelingthe layout of medieval manuscripts •  Annotation, and Collaboration, at the heart of the model •  Distribution across repositories for images, text, commentary •  Granular accuracy, from full resource to non-rectangular segment •  Multiple page orders and Discovery via Aggregations SharedCanvas brings the humanists primary research objects to their desktop in a powerful, extensible and interoperable fashion Evaluating SharedCanvas 29 SDH2011, 17th of November 2011, Copenhagen, Denmark
