All data created inside Linked Canvas is stored as IIIF images or RDF triples. Using APIs, content can be published to existing websites and/or new applications. Content may optionally be published via a SPARQL endpoint. Alternatively, the tool can be used as a completely self-contained web authoring and web publication tool. This step includes components for:
- faceted search across an entire image collection;
- browsable image galleries of featured images;
- search inside individual images;
- on-canvas tooltips to describe specific visual details;
- arrangement of POIs spatially or narratively using POI hierarchies;
- query expansion and refinement using concept explorer and concept tag clouds;
- linking to related images based on ontological connections;
- pan and zoom from search results to specific visual features;
- pinch and swipe images and watch the discovery panel dynamically update to describe the concepts associated with what is currently in view;
- explore time-sequenced guided-tours including audio and video narration.
