Institutional Repository Metadata Kultur Institutional Repository Metadata

Purpose Promotional Administrative Preservation Sharing Need to look at the purpose of our repository and the metadata Its to provide information about the image/work Promotional – institution – researcher – info about the image/work, what it is, who, subject, links e.g. Researcher website Admin – for institution, research offices, dates, subject, funder Preservation – record of what happened. Produced at the time, in what formats – what the work is saying, how it was produced – more difficult Sharing – promotional – but allowing all to access it, so metadata needs to be standardised so that it can be pulled out and aggregated

Born Digital Multimedia Born digital works – digital photographs, take that in the format originally made, sometimes converted to web friendly format for display/access

Digital Representation Digital representations – a lot of the work e.g. Painting – so distinction needs to be made between the representation and the original work

Still/Moving Image/Audio Still/moving images – again can often only be a representation e.g. Video work – multiple screens, to be viewed in specific environments

Multiple Creators Multiple creators – found this in a lot of art research e.g. Theatre productions – so need to have room for all these contributors

Metadata Modified Dublin Core Expanded fields Item level metadata Copyright User friendly

Modified Dublin Core Medium not really expressed in dublin core – does not separate between the object and the digital representation, here the material/measurements of the piece of fabric itself – not the image

Expanded Fields Expanded fields e.g other contributors – not co-creators e.g. Photographer, curator

Item Level Metadata Item level metadata – describing the individual image – format, title, license, contributor e.g. Photographer of the image

Copyright Copyright – huge area, again for the individual image, the specific license of the that image as opposed to the whole record

User Friendly (?) User friendly – have we managed? With art/design items there are 7 areas!! However only 4 fields are mandatory – red star – also help info next to each field - researchers themselves will deposit and put in metadata – wnat to encourage this as much as possible

Depositor Trained staff – IR manager/assistant Researcher Enhancing the metadata Who deposits

How the repo looks like at present – UAL only, though UCA operates in an identical way Id’s are pretty standard e.g Last Name, First Name, Year, Title, Publisher etc
