About

The VRA panel is meant to facilitate sharing descriptive metadata between a user and a chosen recipient, such as a database curator, an image sharing service, or a colleague.

 

Objectives:

  • Allow curators and collection managers to more efficiently collect metadata from faculty and student contributors and ingest it into a central database.
  • Allow database assistants to enter pre-cataloging information, i.e., source captions, original resource documentation, or backlog tracking information.
  • Empower contributors to keep embedded metadata in their image files for the purpose of managing them with common desktop photo applications and sharing with colleagues and students.
  • Use Adobe Bridge's bulk metadata input and editing capabilities to increase efficiency.
  • Create data that is both Core 4 and IPTC compatible, i.e., it is interoperable with most photo software and can be easily ingested into a Visual Resources database.
  • Facilitate the creation of semantic web ready digital images that are self-describing through the use of embedded RDF/XML metadata.
