 # Manifest Structure
 
 An IIIF Manifest can have a large number of key/values. We shall only go over the most important ones here. We suggest reading the [IIIF Presentation API](https://iiif.io/api/presentation/3.0/) for full documentation about a Manifest's structure. 
+
+The manifest is divided into items which will all have at least an ID and a type. Before anything, we define a Manifest item. It’s type will always be “Manifest”, and it’s ID will be the URL to the JSON file. Here’s an example:
+
+```
+{
+     “id” : “www.my-server/link-to-my-manifest/manifest_name.json”,
+     “type” : “Manifest”,
+     “@context": "http://iiif.io/api/presentation/3/context.json"
+}
+```
