"Interested in learning about standards for cataloging cultural
worksand images, or improving and enhancing your techniques for
creating descriptive metadata? Join us for a workshop on “CCO for
Museums and Visual Resources Collections.”
CCO (Cataloging Cultural Objects) is descriptive standard designed
specifically for the cultural heritage and visual resources
communities. If you are new to data standards and controlled
vocabularies, or if you would like to brush up on your understanding
of how they interoperate, this workshop is for you. Also addressed
will be the fundamental issue of optimizing collection metadata so
that users can find materials via Google and other commercial search
engines.
In the context of real cataloging issues, this workshop will address
the basic decision-making that surrounds: data structures and data
values; describing works and images; display values vs. indexing
values. It is our goal that this be an interesting and interactive
workshop. This is a full-day training session with time for breakout
group discussions, exercises, and questions. Attendees are encouraged
to bring their own cataloging questions with sample images to the
workshop."
Thank you and best regards,
Karin
