+# 2. Indexing from IIIF Manifests
+
+Date: Archaeological
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Objects in Pomegranate need to get their metadata from Figgy, where they are
+administered. Spotlight ships with a IIIF-based indexer. Figgy already produces
+IIIF manifests to support viewing the objects. However the metadata bucket
+doesn't contain rich enough metadata for pomegranate use cases.
+
+Figgy (plum, at the time) didn't have an API at the time this decision was made. Manifests were the
+only way to get data out. Today Figgy has a graphql API.
+
+## Decision
+
+We will use the IIIF Manifests to pull data from Figgy into Pomegranate. The
+Manifest gives us the manifest url (used for presenting a viewer), the thumbnail
+iiif image url, and the jsonld metadata location (via seeAlso).
+
+## Consequences
+
+* We have to do multiple queries for each index action.
+
+* Efficiency of synchronization is bound to the efficiency of generating
+  manifests
+
+* Access authorization must be negotiated via headers, where an API might be more
+  straightforward.
