So we decided to build a proof of concept viewer. We had access to metadata for \~3500 German parliamentary debates. We transformed this metadata to IIIF Manifests, ending up with one [Manifest](https://iiif.io/api/presentation/3.0/#52-manifest) per debate, each with one [Canvas](https://iiif.io/api/presentation/3.0/#53-canvas) representing the duration of the debate, annotated with a video file to provide the AV content. Other sources of textual data were available, but for this MVP we used the WEBVTT files as source for the transcripts. Sample Manifest: This links to an annotation list for the text content: The parliamentary source data is hacked into IIIF here: We produce a IIIF Collection of the manifests, so the viewer software knows what's available:\ The manifests are then shown using this viewer: ![https://openhypervideo.github.io/iiif-interactive-transcript/](/files/-LMr2esZ-maCivU8_iuN) ## **Team** * Joscha Jaeger * Tom Crane
