Cataloguing Cultural Objects - three new chapters
now avai
The Visual Resources Association is pleased
to announce that three additional chapters are now available on
the Web site for "Cataloguing Cultural Objects: A Guide to
Describing Cultural Works and their Images, " known as CCO at
http://www.vraweb.org/CCOweb/index.html. These
three new chapters address Physical Characteristics (Chapter 3),
Stylistic and Chronological Characteristics (Chapter 4) and
Description (Chapter 8).
Cataloguing Cultural Objects (CCO) is a
VRA-supported project designed to promote good descriptive cataloging,
shared documentation, and enhanced end-user access. Based on the
core data elements found in the VRA Core 3.0 and the CDWA structures,
CCO provides guidelines for selecting, ordering, and formatting data
used to populate catalogue records.
Along with the three new chapters, the CCO
Web site includes information about the project, a table of contents,
and four other chapters (Object Naming, Maker Information, Class, and
View Description) from the "How to Catalogue" section of the
guide. Two additional chapters, and an extensive Introduction, will be
added to the site by the end of the year.
In addition to sharing our work, the
purpose of the web site is to solicit feedback from you, the
cataloguing community, before the CCO guide is published as a print
publication. Ann Whiteside, Chair of the VRA Data Standards Committee,
is the main contact for the Project and feedback. You can e-mail her
via the Feedback link on the home page of the site.
Please note that the Web content has not
had a full copy edit, but we wanted to get these guidelines to the
community so that the cataloguing practitioners can start testing
their applicability. As you can imagine, CCO is the culmination of
years of theory and practice from the community. The project team has
strived to recommend the best of that practice. We are looking forward
to getting your feedback on this important project.
