Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by tracing the authorized-user project-creation entry point and existing manifest and TPEN Project configuration handling. Done means the interface supports the listed manifest sources, project label, and automatic project metadata while producing the proposed configuration object.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

interfaces

Interface for authorized user to create a new transcription project. The meat of the form is modules to describe project and create a TPEN Project configuration object:

  • Manifest from string - canvases or images URI, creates URI and loads into Manifest by URI
  • Manifest from resources - load a manifest or sequence or canvas and add it to the working manifest
  • Manifest by URI - load remote or RERUM URI with preview
  • Project Label - May be different from Manifest label
  • Automatic project info - creator, modification, references to Manifests

Proposed config object:

{ "@context" : "http://rerum.io/api/context.json",
  "@type"    : "tpen:Project",
  "label"    : <String>,
  "manifest" : <URI>,
  "configuration" : {
    "ui" : {                      // preferences for interface
      "tools"     : [ <String> ], // splitscreen tool keywords and URIs
      "layout"    : { <Map> },    // toggles for buttons and interface modules
      "interface" : <String>      // override for default transcription interface
    },
    "permissions" : [ { "agent" : <Agent>, "access" : <Map> } ]
  },
  "creator"    : <RERUM User>,
  "version"    : [<Int>],
  "createdAt"  : <timestamp>,
  "modifiedAt" : <timestamp>
