Description

I would like to easily view an existing page annotation/transcription that has been represented in TEI without word, line or paragraph coordinates.

Variation(s)

A similar use case would involve parallel page transcriptions and translations.

Proposed Solutions

References to TEI documents can be made at manifest level in seeAlso statements, but linking to them removes a user from the image viewing environment. A solution that exposes the transcribed text within a viewer, or which represents transcriptions and (potentially multiple) translations in selectable layers, may be desirable. Transcriptions (and translations) can be represented in one or more annotation lists, but would lack coordinate information (or be mapped to the overall canvas dimensions).

Additional Background

A TEI text snippet illustrates aligning transcription and translation to IIIF resources, but without coordinates data:

Where do you envisage storing the text snippet? Is it embedded in the manifest or retrieved dynamically via a URL?
