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

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

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.

Footnote

As the editors note in their introduction, "Standards that guide data structure, data values, and data content form the basis for a set of tools that can lead to good descriptive cataloging, consistent documentation, shared records, and increased end-user access" (p. xi). The VRA Core Categories, for example, represent a set of metadata elements expressed within an XML structure (data structure). Likewise, the Art Architecture Thesaurus contains sets of terms and relationships, or defined data values. While much effort has been expended on developing both data structures and values, the editors argue, the third leg of the stool, data content, has received less attention. Unlike the library community with its Anglo-American Cataloging Rules [sic though RDA is referenced in the Selected Bibliography], or its archival equivalent, Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS), those in the domain of cultural heritage responsible for describing and documenting works of art, architecture, cultural artifacts, and their respective images, have not had the benefit of such data content standards. CCO is intended to address (or redress) that gap, emphasizing the exercise of good judgment and cataloguer discretion over the application of "rigid rules" [p. xii], and building on existing standards. ... Overall, Cataloging Cultural Objects with its attending guidelines for descriptive metadata and authority control for "one-of-a-kind cultural objects" should merit a place among the "well-established" data content standards of the library and archival communities that CCO references with obvious regard."
