Download the latest release. In Tropy, navigate to Preferences… > Plugins and click Install Plugin to select the downloaded ZIP file.
Download a IIIF manifest and select File > Import > tropy-plugin-iiif to start the import. The plugin tries to map the manifest’s metadata to standard metadata properties. In case the result is not satisfactory, create a custom import template.
To create an import template with your own custom mappings, use Tropy’s template editor (Preferences > Templates). Create a new template with the properties of your choice. Each property in the template has a label, which represents a metadata label of the IIIF manifest. To figure out which labels are available, open the manifest in a IIIF viewer (look for metadata) or search inside the metadata array in the manifest.json file itself. E.g. a label Object type could be used in the dc:type property to map Object type to dc:type.
To configure the plugin, click its Settings button in Preferences > Plugins:
- Choose a plugin Name that will show up in the File > Import menu (e.g. IIIF Manifest).
- Use the + icon at the far right to create new plugin instances (so you can have multiple configurations in parallel).
- The Item template selector lets you pick a custom import template.
