Metadata

All my terms used are linked out to their sources within the individual item's metadata pages (viewable by clicking on them through the collection and about pages.
All items are Dublin core elements, with the exception of “has technique” which is a VRA core element. 

As few elements are relabelled, such as:

Date → Decade

Medium → Materials

Format → Measurements

Source → Location Relation

“Location Relation” has been chosen as many items do not have specific locations of creation to be found. However, some do represent a location. This field is also made repeatable by the shared location of “Soviet Union” found in Getty Geonames.
