Hi
We looking for a decent viewer for the facsimiles of Henrik Ibsens manuscripts where all texts ar transcribed as TEI xml-documetns by the large project Henrik Ibsen's writings mostly in the 1990s. It is clear that something like the universal viewer (http://universalviewer.io/) may do the job. This is a IIIF thing. I studied the specification of IIIF before I read Ben’s report from the IIIF. It is an easy match to view the facsimiles, but it is harder to add advanced (meta)data outside the simple open-annotation-universe. I read Ben’s restored Vatican talk and also the notes indicating Peter Robinson’s view. A text is not a series of pages. In any case I assume that it is easy to link from some viewer of tei-xml-encoded text to an instance of the universal viewer, but may be not so easy the other way round. The question is whether the data model in IIIF is well suited for modelling texts in the way TEI recommend.
I will be interested in participating in a discussion about this.
Best
Christian-Emil

Hi Ben,
I'd say there's a great deal more you can do than simply using pb/@facs
to point at the highest-res image; the Representation of Primary Sources
chapter has examples of using <surface> and <zone> to link components of
a transcription to areas on an image, and of linking to multiple images
at different resolutions:
<facsimile>
<graphic url="page1.png"/>
<surface>
<graphic url="page2-highRes.png"/>
<graphic url="page2-lowRes.png"/>
</surface>
<graphic url="page3.png"/>
<graphic url="page4.png"/>
</facsimile>
