What types of resources will the collection contain? JPG images of The Cure’s album covers. Metadata about the items: format, identifiers, title, release date, song and band line-up descriptions. Additional information if applicable. Link to the official Cure website. Plugins, such as Simple Pages and Comments.
How big is it expected to grow? At this point, I would like to keep it to two collections containing at most 62 images and focusing on original albums and singles. In the future, I could add new collections to show compilation albums, collaborations, soundtrack work, videos and/or mp3s.
Who is going to use it and how? Primarily Cure and music fans. It is intended to be a fan site for simple informational purposes only. Who should be involved in the selection process? Me!
How will access and intellectual property rights be managed? At this point, I’m treating this as a learning experience and class project, and thus, not making it truly public. If made public, I would contact Geffen Records, the current copyright holder and ask for express permission to use their copyrighted images for strictly non-commercial use. If permission is granted all appropriate credits, disclaimers, and copyrights would be noted for each item.
What systems does it need to interact with? No specific systems are required as this is a stand-alone website with all data stored in the Omeka database. What special capabilities does it need? It is designed to be a simple project that doesn’t rely on special functionalities beyond the capabilities of Omeka and its plugins (such as simple pages and comments).
What Resources will be available to create and maintain it? The official Cure website, thecure.com. Wikipedia Search engines What tools exist to help automatically detect resources? The band’s website and search engines such as Google image search. RSS feed for information on new releases from the band’s label and official website.
