Re-use of Manifests

(Provide link to index.md of the issue, if available. To be filled in after issue is created - you need the issue number!)

Use case

I want to create a new Manifest based on parts of an existing manifest, either to mix images from different Manifests into one presentation or to add metadata or Annotations to an existing presentation. What rules should I follow, which elements should be copied into the new Manifest?

A motivation for this recipe was the discussion on Slack started by Kelli Babcock on 2024-02-09: https://iiif.slack.com/archives/C0AL6BU76/p1707488457989169

Would a use case for this be "I want to create a Range in my Manifest that uses Canvases from another Manifest" -- for reconstruction of a manuscript that has dispersed parts or fragments? I have that use case (although I don't think any viewers support that at the moment) - but it could be that I haven't constructed the range properly. I can share our test manifests for this for review and a starting point. I was planning to do this recipe at some point, but happy for someone else to do it instead :)

Please share your example @kirschbombe. Constructing a Range could be an example use case. We should aim for a simple example to explain the general case as usual.

A use case we have is enriching metadata in an aggregation project e.g. to add a list of manuscript illuminations as a table of contents when the list of pages is generated by AI.
