IIIF Annotation Studio

This is the Mirador IIIF Viewer packaged as a desktop app with an embedded annotation endpoint that saves annotations to a local sqlite database.

This is a proof of concept, slightly usable at the moment. A lot of things are missing:

annotation api: create
annotation api: update and delete
UI: a page listing all manifests and relative annotations
export (and import) of annotations
builds for linux (AppImage) and Windows
share annotations (maybe using DAT)

Build

Clone

git clone https://github.com/atomotic/iiif-annotation-studio
cd iiif-annotation-studio

Install go-bindata

go get github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
go get github.com/elazarl/go-bindata-assetfs/...

Install modules (requires dep)

dep ensure

Package static assets

go-bindata-assetfs static/...

— Build for macos

go build -o "build/macos/IIIF Annotation Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/IIIF Annotation Studio.app"

Run IIIF Annotation Studio.app from build/macos
(if you trust me there is a ready made build in releases)

— Build for linux. GTK3 and GtkWebkit2 required, not yet tested.

go build
./iiif-annotation-studio

Backup

The first run creates the sqlite database $HOME/.annotations/annotations.db if not existing. Just backup this file.

➜  ~ sqlite3 ~/.annotations/annotations.db .schema
CREATE TABLE annotations (
		id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
		annoid VARCHAR,
		created_at DATETIME,
		target VARCHAR,
		manifest VARCHAR,
		body TEXT);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX annotation_id ON annotations (annoid);

Disclaimer

Is this another Electron app? NO, is made in golang with zserge/webview.
