Project Requirements
- 10 digital objects with relevant metadata:
- Iconography: 17 objects with 12 element sets/ fields using Getty controlled vocabulary
- Literature: 11 books with 11 element sets/fields using Library of Congress controlled vocabulary
- Description of content, scope, and context; reason for subject matter and objects chosen
- Explanation for fields used; identification of which fields were assigned which standardized controlled vocabulary
- Walk-through of objects
- Pretty self-explanatory for Iconography and Literature, as, in the fields used to describe the objects and literature, I detail where I got the item and data from.
- For the Iconography, my metadata was pretty similar to that provided by the source, though I believe I did provide more standardized vocabulary within my created metadata. In the case of the Literature, while I did use the information provided by the source, they did not describe each book in a cataloged manner, so I created the metadata from scratch.
- All of the Iconography and Literature included in my project are viewed as being objects rather than images. I chose to view them in this way because the importance is in the object or book itself, rather than the picture of the object are book.
