Robert Sanderson, Benjamin Albritton, SharedCanvas
The SharedCanvas data model specifies a linked data based approach for describing digital facsimiles of physical objects in a collaborative fashion. It is intended for use in the cultural heritage domain, although may be useful in other areas, and is designed around requirements derived from digitized text-bearing objects such as medieval manuscripts. Instances of the data model are consumed by rendering platforms in order to understand the relationships between the constituent text, image, audio or other resources. These resources are associated with an abstract Canvas, or parts thereof, via Open Annotations and the Annotations are grouped and ordered in OAI-ORE Aggregations.
