Art Collections Metadata Schema Proposed

A new metadata schema has been chosen for the art collections (primarily housed by the Pasadena Museum of History and the Pasadena Public Library). The schema takes some of the fields from the photograph metadata schema and includes some new fields that art act collection specific.

This is the second schema to have been created for the PDHC, and proved to be a learning experience for all of us involved. We analysed each of the proposed fields (by Michelle Turner at PMH) in detail and deliberated over the semantics of each. This will, no doubt, be of great value for future schemas developed in the future.

The schema will be available on the PDHC Wiki as soon as it is finalized.
