Preface

In order for us to add more complexity to our Fedora Works and IIIF models, we need good guiding documentation that defines what we are doing and why we are doing it. This document attempts to not just suggest what a certain work should look like as a Fedora object, but also explain why it should look that way. Similarly, it attempts to take a suggested Fedora work type model and show how to display it in IIIF presenation 3.

The document is intended to inform on both the micro and macro level. The Component section describes the individual parts that make up a work, their shape, and the reason for the shape. The Work Types section describes what a more complex digital object should look like and leverages the defined components to do that. The Recipes section describes a complex scenario for a digital exhibit and explains how to make the recipe using ideas from Componets and Work Types. It also shows these complex ideas using IIIF presentation and how it should be presented to the user and also mentions other IIIF services that are needed to solve the use case.
