# Goals and Aspirations

* When libraries expose their images to research communities, scholars are able to discover lots of new information. * Libraries and museums that make their images available should be able to benefit from the data that research communities generate.

* Our Questions: * How can research communities quickly alert holding institutions to SUPPLEMENTAL information about materials in their collections? * How can we share this information in such a way that holding institutions can seamlessly re-use this SUPPLEMENTAL information to enrich their own collections and user experiences?

* Kinds of SUPPLEMENTAL information include: * structural metadata, such as a table of contents * a search service * annotation layers, such as transcriptions, translations, and commentary

# Sending a Webmention

# Receiving and Using a Webmention

# Re-Creating Manifests with Webmention(ed) Supplements

# After

## Possibilities * Today, scholars around the world are building editions, translations, and commentaries for the world's cultural materials. * Without common standards this data will be silo-ed in a scholarly print edition or a closed, one-off website. * With the right work flow and with common standards this information can be shared and re-used throughout the world.
