Uploading Existing Annotation Data in Annonatate about annonatate

[dnoneill]

Hi,
Sorry it has take so long to get back to you.
Yeah it should be possible. It looks like you might have already figured this out? I am not quite sure.

You will have to do some manual remediation. You will need to make sure you are uploading into the _annotations folder.

You will also have to make sure you have front matter loaded. So the file you upload to _annotations should be in the following format. Unfortunately you are probably going to need to script this because you can't upload an annotation list. So each annotation needs to have it's own file the filename being the id of the annotation.

---
canvas: url of canvas
order: number of the annotation in list
---
json of the annotation

To create the list add the follwoing to a list file

---
canvas_id: url of canvas
---
{% assign annotations = site.annotations | where: "canvas", page.canvas_id | sort: "order" | map: "content" %}
{
"@context": "http://iiif.io/api/presentation/2/context.json",
"id": "{{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}{{page.url}}",
"type": "oa:AnnotationList",
"resources": [{{ annotations | join: ","}}] }

I have written the script that will convert annotation lists to an Annonatate working version. Might need to be tweaked a little because it assumed that it was writing to the repo the annotations were in.
