> Thanks for the input. I guess <graphic target="..." type="iiif" /> solves part of my problem - I can link to the manifest. However, I'm using Diva.js to display the contents so I can't reference a page directly with a URL. Rather, I have to load the entire manifest then give a page index to the Diva.js API to load. So, I guess my question now is if I can attach extra data to a <graphic> element.<br>

</span>this is exactly what I tried to say ;-)<br>
<span class=""><br>

><br>
> Is this still valid MEI?<br>
<br>
</span>yes. graphic/@target has "anyURI" as content, and @type is just a token of your choice. MEI doesn't know or define what @type="iiif" means, and since it's your application that has to make use of it, you can equally well use @type="divajs". The only problem I see with this setup is that<br>
<br>
> <a href="http://url/to/iiif/manifest.json#100" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://url/to/iiif/manifest.<wbr>json#100</a><br>
<br>
is not a regular URI (at least to my knowledge): Unlike in HTML, the hash has no specific meaning to get something inside a JSON file. However, if I got that right, IIIF is using JSON-LD. Following the documentation [1], each page is defined using a separate object in an array:<br>
<br>
"canvases": [<br>
{"@id":"<a href="http://www.example.org/iiif/book1/canvas/p1" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.example.<wbr>org/iiif/book1/canvas/p1</a>",<br>
"@type":"sc:Canvas",<br>
"label":"p. 1"<br>
// ...<br>
},<br>
//...<br>
]<br>
<br>
The @id value is intended as the "official" link to this item. However, if you use mei:graphic/@target to point to this, you loose the reference to the manifest itself. You could add a bunch of redirects to your web server to resolve those links to the manifest, but this feels equally strange as the "…/manifest.json#p100" solution.<br>
<br>
I'd love to hear how the folks at McGill handle this…<br>

> right now, I'm still using individual <surface> elements inside <facsimile>, one for each page. Each surface then has a <graphic target="path/to/manifest.json" type="iiif/>. This works mostly because I don't have a manifest for all pages (yet), but individual for each page. This is clearly not ideal, but works for me for the time being. I wouldn't mind to link to the same manifest from multiple targets, and then use some kind of URI mechanism to refer to a specific page inside that manifest. I'm not that familiar with IIIF, but afaik, each page (canvas) has an "@id" property, which can be used as target for the reference. I know the following syntax isn't working out of the box, but you may get the idea:<br>

In particular, I'm dealing with images hosted on an IIIF server. So, I wouldn't necessarily have a URL to the image. Rather, I would have:<br>
