TASI has updated its documentation on metadata (cataloguing images). There are four new advice documents, a directory of metadata schemas, and an updated list of metadata vocabularies
- Metadata Overview introduces some key concepts, looking at what metadata is and how it might be structured and stored.
- Challenges of Describing Images looks at why images might be harder to describe than other resources and suggests strategies for analysing them.
- Metadata Standards and Interoperability looks at some of the key standards being used to catalogue image collections.
- Getting Practical with Metadata suggests 12 steps to follow in developing metadata for an image collection.
- Putting Things in Order: Links to Metadata Schemas and Related Standards provides descriptions of 27 metadata schemas or related standards.
- Controlling your Language - Links to Metadata Vocabularies provides more than 70 sources of controlled vocabulary (e.g. thesauri, subject headings).
