[Metadatalibrarians] Image metadata

[Sarah Currier]

Hi Jenn,

A few resources you can check, you may have these already but never hurts to
send to the list for people looking through the archives in future:

Technical metadata for images:

ANSI/NISO Z39.87 - Data Dictionary - Technical Metadata for Digital Still
Images:
http://xaddr.com/6nw

MIX XML schema for NISO z39.87:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mix/


Cultural metadata for images:

VRA Core:
http://www.vraweb.org/projects/vracore4/index.html


UK-based JISC-funded Images Application Profile (mainly for describing
images in university research repositories I think, but there may be some
useful stuff in here):
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/Images_Application_Profile


Again, UK-based, but an overview of metadata for still images here:
http://www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk/stillimages/advice/metadata-and-digital-images/
(their blog claims a recent update to this but it doesn't seem to have
appeared yet- might be worth contacting them).


Hope this helps
Sarah

> Hi everyone,

> I am curious what schema you would recommend for an small image collection
(around 100,000) that will mostly be used by the marketing department at our
college. We are not interested in long term archival necessarily, but would
like to make it as user-friendly as possible.

resource recommendations.
