Items manifest

The information needed to create or edit an item (or, better yet, an item release) must be provided through a manifest, a JSON representation of the data to store on the database.

Manifests top-level structure is the same for any item, while the content of the resources property is specific for each item type.

What follows is the formal definition of a generic manifest, with the other pages of this section documenting how the assets (field resources) should be shaped for each type.
