Abstract

The National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives functions as Canada's national art and supports research on a national and international basis. Given this important mandate and the research interest in art exhibitions, it was important to catalogue the exhibition-related material and to publicize National Gallery holdings. Describes the project of creating an online finding aid for exhibition records and other material related to more than 1900 exhibitions held between 1880 and the present at the National Gallery of Canada. Sets out the goals and many benefits of the project

Abstract

Purpose - This research project aims to provide a new visual representation of the Artefacts Canada digital collection, as well as a means for users to browse this content. Artefacts Canada Humanities is a database containing approximately 3.5 million records describing the different collections of Canadian museums. Design/methodology/approach - A four-step methodology was adopted for the development of the faceted taxonomy model. First, a best practice review consisting of an extensive analysis of existing terminology standards in museum communities and public web interfaces of large cultural organizations was performed. The second step of the methodology entailed a domain analysis; this involved extracting and comparing relevant concepts from terminological authoritative sources. The third step proceeded to term clustering and entity listing,which involved the breaking-up of the taxonomy domains into potential facets. An incremental user testing was also realized in order to validate and refine the taxonomy components (facets, values, and relationships). Findings - The project resulted in a bilingual and expandable vocabulary structure that will further be used to describe the Artefacts Canada database records. The new taxonomy simplifies the representation of complex content by grouping objects into similar facets to classify all records of the Artefacts Canada database. The user-friendly bilingual taxonomy provides worldwide visitors with the means to better access Canadian virtual museum collections. Originality/value - Few methodological tools are available for museums which wish to adopt a faceted approach in the development of their web sites. For practitioners, the methodology developed within this project is a direct contribution to support web site development of large cultural organizations.

Abstract

It may be jumping the gun a bit to review this publication before it is actually published, but we are nothing if not current here at Current Cites, so we will do it anyway (so sue us!). This publication-in-process is a joint effort of the Visual Resources Association and the Digital Library Federation. It aims to "provide guidelines for selecting, ordering, and formatting data used to populate catalog records" relating to cultural works. Although this work is far from finished (Chapters 1, 2, 7, and 9 are available, as well as front and back matter), the authors are making it available so pratictioners can use it and respond with information about how it can be improved to better aid their work. A stated goal is to publish it in print at some point in the future. Besides garnering support from the organizations named above as well as the Getty, the Mellon Foundation and others, the effort is being guided by experienced professionals at the top of their field. Get the point? If you're involved with creating metadata relating to any type of cultural object and/or images of such, this will need to be either on your bookshelf, or bookmarked in your browser, or both

Abstract

Because of the individual character of museums the use of online catalogues to describe objects in the collections in the Netherlands has lagged behind that of libraries. In 1993 the MIRO (Museale Informatieverzorgingen Registratie Opleidingen) project was inaugurated to identify probllem areas and devise solutions. The project identified 4 areas for which training is required for museum staff: description of objects, compilation of indexes, automation in museums, and the use of multimedia systems. Following the project's report the Dutch government has dedicated extra funds for museum automation

Abstract

EC project PRESTO has completed a survey of the holdings and preservation status of ten major broadcast archives. These archives represent a significant portion of total European broadcast archives, including some ofthe largest individual collections.The main findings are that approximately 75% of this material is at risk or inaccessible and that the collections are growing at roughly four times the rate of current progress in preservation work. This article gives detailed results of the survey, and describes the technical developments being produced by project PRESTO to reduce the costs and improve the effectiveness of multimedia archive preservation projects.

Abstract

Der Bestand eines Fernseharchivs gleicht auf dem ersten Blick einem Irrgarten. Täglich werden große Mengen an audiovisuellen Informationen über den Äther geschickt und gleichzeitig für eine eventuelle Wiederverwendung digital gespeichert. Die Herausforderung für jeden Archivar besteht darin, aus Millionen von Sendeminuten auf Anfrage möglichst schnell das passende Material zusammenzustellen. Mit diesem Problem befasste sich das EU-Projekt Primavera (Personalized Retrieval und Indexing of Media Assets in Virtual Environments for Real-Time Access). Die darin entwickelte Software testet der Österreichische Rundfunk in Wien seit einem Jahr. Sie wurde vom Fraunhofer-Institut für Integrierte Publikations- und Informationssysteme (IPSI) in Darmstadt, der tecmath AG in Kaiserslautern und dem Instituto Trentino Di Cultura (ITC) in Trient gemeinsam entworfen. Neuer Suchansatz Suchte ein Redakteur bisher in archivierten Sendungen, bestellte er schließlich mehrere, vermutlich passende Mitschnitte. Viele davon erweisen sich jedoch schnell als nutzlos. Nun kann man bereits am Bildschirm anhand von Schlüsselbildern - den Keyframes genannten Standbildern markanter Szenen - eine Vorauswahl treffen. Einzelne Zugriffe auf das System erfolgen über einen Web-Browser, wobei Suchergebnisse grafisch aufberei tet werden. Damit eine Suche erfolgreich ist, müssen die Archivbestände exakt klassifiziert sein. Mit einem Werkzeug namens Piclasso beschleunigt das Programm die Verschlagwortung von bereits vorhandenen Filmen, indem es deren Klassifizierung sozusagen lernt und auf neu hinzukommendes Material automatisch anwendet. Der Archivar hat dabei aber jederzeit die Wahl, ob er einen Vorschlag übernimmt oder nicht. Zudem kann der Nutzer nicht nurtext-, sondern auch bildbezogen suchen.

Abstract

Twenty years of experience with computers in museums has led from the original 'purely scientific' objectives to a more down-to-earth approach aimed at rationalizing repetitive procedures. Dealing with fragmentary or unclean data is of primary concern. In the 'small museums' project useful techniques from the field of thesaurus applications are customized in daily practice for this purpose

Abstract

A preliminary survey of poster collections in libraries, museums, and archives in the Netherlands revealed a wealth of material about which little was known. A deteiled survey was, therefore, undertaken in 1992 by the Rijksdienst Beeldende Kunst of 14 institutiions known to hold poster collections. As a result of the project the Database Nederlandse Affiches has been compiled to record details of the 72.000 items identified. Other institutions have now begun to submit details of their holdings to the database

Abstract

Ellender Memorial Library at Nicholls State University, Louisiana has a slide collection including 10,000 slides in 60 sets devoted to art. Describes how the cataloguer solved the problem of entering sufficiently detailed records of this part of the collection on the OPAC of a small college library, using the OCLC authority file for artists' names and NUTPLUS which offers access via any combination of 15 data elements including e.g., aspects of the subject, call and item numbers and location of the works of art. NUTPLUS is now available in a new version, called Ultra-Plus Advanced, from Fairhaven Software of Stoughton, Massachusetts

Abstract

The National School of Fine Arts houses collections of prints, manuscripts, photographs, drawings, paintings, sculpture, architectural designs and printed texts: in all some 200.000 works. The computerised joint catalogue project begun in 1992 already comprises 42.000 records and 4.000 images captured from the original indexes and catalogues. The software used, Micromusee, was developed specifically for special collections: MARC compatible, it offers both controlled and natural language searching, and is very simple to use

Abstract

The entry provides an overview of the data content standard, Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO), developed by the Visual Resources Association (VRA), and published in 2006 by the American Library Association (ALA). CCO fills a gap in the array of descriptive standards by providing guidelines for visual resources curators, museum documentation specialists, archivists, librarians, or anyone engaged in the documentation of works of art and architecture, objects of material culture, and their images. The entry begins by placing CCO within the context of object and visual image cataloging and the broader framework of data content standards. Following the organization of the guide, which is divided into three parts, General Guidelines, Elements, and Authorities, it summarizes the main features of CCO. Finally, it evaluates CCO in terms of its suitability for use by the metadata communities that form its intended audience, and its sustainability.

Abstract

In 1996, with funding from the Henry Luce Foundation, Jack Lenor Larsen and an advisory committee composed of distinguished museum and design professionals developed Objects Classified by Mediums in response to the concern that existing systems do not provide the tools for comparing information on objects. A common understanding and definitions of terms are crucial to the success of a classification project meant to cross institutional and national boundaries. Objects Classified by Mediums seeks to organize areas of study in fiber, clay, metal, wood, and so on, to allow curators and scholars to compare information on similar methods used, build a conceptual framework for the greater understanding of whole categories of objects rather than as isolated works, and provide a finding tool for cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary investigation.
