Events

An “Event” in AVAnnotate can comprise single or multiple AV files and single or multiple sets of annotations. AVAnnotate will create or ingest a IIIF manifest for each event. Event pages can be auto-generated or created by the user.

Add new events by selecting + Add on the Event dashboard

‘Create Manifest’ by inputting information about the new event, including:

  • Label A descriptive title of the event
  • Item Type Audio or video
  • AV label A descriptive title of the audio or video file
  • URL or Offline See AV Files support and formats for more information
  • Duration Duration of AV file in hh:mm:ss
  • Description (optional)
  • Citation (optional)

Annotation sets can be added to an event after the event has been added and saved.

‘Import Manifest’ by referencing a IIIF manifest

Include a link from a IIIF manifest.

Important Note: The AVAnnotate validator checks that the IIIF manifest structure is valid but does not check links. Broken or invalid links (see Valid IIIF AV Types] will not render in an AVAnnotate project.

Edit events by clicking into an event on the dashboard, and then selecting Edit
