Metadata

Canopy IIIF automatically provides a Metadata page at /metadata. This page helps improve the discovery of the works within the collection by displaying a link to searches of all curated subjects from the metadata property in config/canopy.json and their unique values that appear in Manifests across the source Collection.

canopy metadata page

Features

This page is generated automatically during the build process and is based on the values specified in the metadata property of the config/canopy.json file.

{
  "collection": "https://api.dc.library.northwestern.edu/api/v2/search?query=%22nez%20perce%22&as=iiif&size=125",
  "metadata": ["Subject", "Date", "Dimensions"],
}

The page is organized based on the order of the metadata labels in the array. Below each label is a link to search results to works in the collection that have that metadata label and a unique value. The values are organized in order of how many works have that label and value pair in the collection. Clicking the link will take the user to search results limited to that specific label and value pair.
