Collection manifest

Collections are used to

list the manifests available for viewing, and to
describe the structures, hierarchies or curated collections that the physical objects are part of.

The collections may include both other collections and manifests, in order to form a hierarchy of objects with manifests at the leaf nodes of the tree.

The IIIF Presentation API URI for requesting a collection must conform to the following URI Template:

{scheme}://{host}/{prefix}/collection/{name}

Example

https://app.digitale-sammlungen.de/demo/iiif/presentation/v2/collection/ecodices
