"Using
Descriptive Metadata and Controlled Vocabularies to Enhance
Access
to Visual Collections"
May 28, 2010
Reed College, Room L41
Portland,
Oregon
Interested in learning about standards for cataloging
cultural works
and 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."
