Events

Events are a central conceptual element of a project and could comprise a single or multiple AV files, which may be associated with annotations. Events might include a conference composed of different panels and speakers or, more typically, a single speaker’s presentation. In another example, an Event could include multiple files, each a different recording of a poet reading the same poem. In each case, the project creator determines the scope and definition of their “Events.”

AVAnnotate will create or ingest a IIIF manifest for each event. Event pages can be auto-generated or custom and 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
