SharedCanvas Zones in IIIF about api HOT 12 CLOSED

Support for zones opens up the newspaper space too, no? That seems like a big +

from api.

You could do articles more easily with Ranges rather than Zones. Zones are
good when you need to manipulate all of the annotations in a particular
area on a single canvas together (eg hide/show them to mimic fold outs,
rotate them to some useful reading orientation, etc)

But yes, if/when implemented, Zones will make several things much fancier :)

Zones

URI pattern: {scheme}://{host}{/prefix}/{identifier}/zone/{name}.json

{
  "@id": "mandatory-uri",
  "@type": "sc:Zone",
  "label": "optional label",
  "height": 1200,           // mandatory
  "width": 800,             // mandatory

  // other fields for zone manipulation
  "viewingOrientation": 270,
  "viewingHint": "foldout",

  "images": [ ... ],
  "otherContent": [ ... ]
}

Then aggregate them in an AnnotationList referenced from otherContent from the Canvas that it is associated with.

{
  "@context":"http://www.shared-canvas.org/ns/context.json",
  "@id":"http://www.example.org/iiif/book1/annotation/p1zone.json",
  "@type":"oa:Annotation",
  "motivation":"sc:painting",
  "resource": {
    "@id": "mandatory-uri",
    "@type": "sc:Zone",
    "label": "optional label",
    "height": 1200,           // mandatory
    "width": 800,             // mandatory

    // other fields for zone manipulation
    "viewingOrientation": 270,
    "viewingHint": "foldout",

    "images": [ ... ], // images annotated onto Zone go here
    "otherContent": [ ... ] // links to annotationlists for other annos on Zone
  },
  "on":"http://www.example.org/iiif/book1/canvas/p1.json"
}

Proposal is to have separate document to describe zones, as above, but to put any new properties into the baseline context.json. Currently there's only viewingOrientation.

Propose to discuss with @edsu as the representative of MITH, who have the most compelling use case.

Given current thinking of removing Zones completely and just allowing canvases to be annotated onto canvases ... I propose close wontfix.

👍 Do we need a SharedCanvas label?

@IIIF/editors Other +1s to closing the issue?
