Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) Official Web Site. DpBestflow. Metadata Schema Transformation Services [OCLC - Activities] Many researchers in the LIS community recognize the need to lower the barriers to the management of digital resources by implementing some measure of interoperability among metadata standards.

Metadata Schema Transformation Services [OCLC - Activities]

They have proposed a wide range of solutions, including crosswalks, translation algorithms, metadata registries, and specialized data dictionaries. Yet despite some genuine advances, it is still difficult to identify the common elements in different metadata standards and put this information to use in systems that resolve differences between incompatible records. Background The goal of the Metadata Schema Transformation project is to develop data models and software tools that ease the task of translating between metadata standards, bridging the gap between analysis and execution. Our work focuses on technical implementations of the crosswalk, the object that distinguishes metadata translation from more routine types of data and format conversion.

Impact Scope Methodology Primary Audience Next steps. Metalogging: Guidelines for Captioning and Keywording images in an image database. Caption and Keywording Guidelines Here are a few questions to ask yourself as you caption and keyword your photographs: Who Are there people in the image or is this an object or scenic? If there are people, is the subject male or female, and do your caption or keywords convey this? Is the person playing a role?

(father/mother, doctor, leader, etc) Have you mentioned the ages of subjects (specific ages and age-ranges as well as "labels" like generation X, youth, senior). What What do you see in the image? Where Where is the subject located? When When was the image taken? Why Why is the action in this image happening? How How is the action or scene important? Other tips Be sure to include technical aspects of the image. When Writing Keywords. Metadata for Images in XML Standard (MIX) How to use a Controlled Vocabulary, Keyword, Hierarchical Classification, Thesauri, Taxonomy or Subject Heading system to describe images in an image database. Using Image Databases to Organize Image Collections Developing a Digital Image Archive can become a tremendously huge undertaking if you don't break it down into small discrete steps. These can go on at the same time, and even be handled by different people in your organization.

Some tasks require different skill sets, and while there are a number of technical challenges with regards to capturing, processing, and storing images; how you organize your images for retrieval can be even more important. Organizing Your Photographs There are many research projects that are examining the indexing of images by automatic content analysis, but they can not achieve the level of detail and accuracy needed to replace a truly professional manual indexing system. There are a lot of considerations to be made before you even begin the process (unless of course you like to redo work for the thrill of it).

Why are you doing this? Where is that scan? TIFF Tag Reference. This is a reference on all known baseline, extended, and private TIFF tags.

TIFF Tag Reference

Every tag page offers a list of basic properties (such as code, name, LibTiff name and data type), as well as a short description. Search Search for any specific tag or group of tags here. Baseline Tags Baseline tags are those that are listed as part of the core of TIFF, the essentials that all mainstream TIFF developers should support in their products.

Extension Tags Extension tags are those listed as part of TIFF features that may not be supported by all TIFF readers. Private Tags Private tags are, at least originally, allocated by Adobe for organizations that wish to store information meaningful only to that organization in a TIFF file. TIFF tags. NISO Z39.87-2006 - Data Dictionary - Technical Metadata for Digital Still Images. What is a Redline?

NISO Z39.87-2006 - Data Dictionary - Technical Metadata for Digital Still Images

A redline document is a quick, easy way to compare all the changes between the active standard and the previous version. A redline shows additions, deletions, and other formatting and content changes between the two versions. Redlines ensure that you know exactly what changes have been made from one version to the next. Use Redlines To: Identify updates in minutes, not hours Effortlessly implement changes to procedures, equipment and products Save time and resources When you purchase Techstreet redlines, you receive TWO documents -- the clean, active version of the standard and the redline version. How to Buy To upgrade your document to add the redline version, simply add the document to your cart and you will be presented with a pop-up window that will display pricing information.

What is a Multi-User PDF? Multi-User PDF files allow you to purchase access to specific documents for use in your company for up to nine users. OAICatMuseum 1.0 [OCLC - Activities] The OAICatMuseum software allows museums to disclose descriptions of collection items as well as pointers to digital surrogates.

OAICatMuseum 1.0 [OCLC - Activities]

It can be used to efficiently share digital images with trusted partners who have requested access to museum content, or with the networked world at large. OAICatMuseum instantiates the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), a lightweight standard for information sharing.

Sharing and Aggregating Social Metadata [OCLC - Activities] One of the activities related to metadata management and support, this activity focused on the user contributions that would enrich the descriptive metadata created by libraries, archives, and museums.

Sharing and Aggregating Social Metadata [OCLC - Activities]

These contributions could come from curators, subject librarians, experts, or enthusiasts. The metadata contributed could be in a range of formats, including images, commentaries, reviews, tags, or links to related sources. To be truly effective, we need to share and aggregate contributions added by users in many diverse environments. An RLG Partner working group identified the issues that need to be resolved to communicate and share user contributions on the network level.
