„The perfect system may not exist!“
Everyone´s collection and content is unique.
Your choice of a system must be driven by your requirements and shaped by your own particular circumstances and constraints.

AGENDA
3
The right file handling is one of the core competences of media productions.Because we have nearly endless filetypes the export and import functionallity is most important for handling data in the next workflow.
What fileformats does your CMS support ?
How is your system oranized ?
Are descriptions like metadata supportet by your image management software ?
Image-centric
Object-centric
where a metadata record is attached to each and every image
where one or more image ca be attached to an object record

IMAGE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARECan be grouped into features related to:
„However, as a means of managing large collections, this approach has several draw-backs:
Your digital media can only be given one file name and put into one folder - while you could conceivably repeat the same file with different filenames or copy it into different folders, such duplication would take up valuable storage space and be likely to lead to future confusion.
You will be limited in how you can name files and folders - while it is now possible to write long file or folder names, these are not unlimited and would not allow certain characters to be used
You will need to decide at the outset what characteristics are the most important and useful for categorising your files - does it make more sense to organise by date, format, file size, duration, subject, source or something else?
Your idiosyncratic way of organising the collection may not make sense to other users - when you share your collection with others you may discover that your approach to organising the content is not quite as intuitive as you thought!“

OUR RANKING APPROACH

TAKING THE TARGET GROUP PERSPECTIVE
13
...that‘s why
we were prefering
a differentiation
in the following
three groups:
WHOM WE ADDRESS(COMPLEXITY RANGE)
Private User Non commercial
High Professionals Business Sector. (Art Galleries, Museums, Libraries, Colleges, Universities, Schools, private Collections etc.)
Lower Professionals Professional. Photographers, Creative people
Group A Group CGroup B
14
PRIVATE USER
What are they doing by managing their private fotos, videos and docs?
• changing color, size, compressing filerate, storing and more often sharing files, collecting and downloading files
How do they manage files? With what software?
• Aperture and iPhoto (only for MAC) Link-Aperture skills• Irfan View etc. (only on Windows PC‘s)• Adobe Photoshop (Mac and PC) • Google Picasa• Google Wave („Future Tools“) Wave-Link
For whom?
• for them selfes, for friends and familiy by sharing files, maybe for their educational aspects, and actually more unknown web audience (like in Social Media Communities etc.)
Group A

What are they doing by managing their private fotos, videos and docs? > changing color, size, compressing filerate, storing and more often sharing files, collecting and downloading filesBUT: They have to provide their file much more detailed for the client side
How do they manage files? With what software? • Aperture (only for MAC) Link-Aperture skills• Adobe Photoshop CS5 (Mac and PC) • Adobe Lightroom (Mac and PC)
For whom? > for them selfes, for friends and familiy by sharing files, maybe for their educational aspects, and actually more unknown web audience (like on Social Media Communities etc.)

CDWA describes the content of art databases by articulating a conceptual framework for describing and accessing information about works of art, architecture, other material culture, groups and collections of works, and related images. It includes 532 categories and subcategories.
CDWA Lite is an XML schema to describe core records for works of art and material culture based on CDWA and CCO.
CDWA Lite records are intended for contribution to union catalogs and other repositories using the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) harvesting protocol.
CDWA AND CDWA LITE: CATEGORIES FOR THE DESCRIPTION OF WORKS OF ART
31
CDWA Lite is very much focused on fine arts: it‘s starting point was eventually delivering metadata from an art collection (the Getty museum) to a digital library on art (ARTstor).
CDWA Lite is very much focused on north american data standards:
• CDWA as data structure standard
• AAT, TGN, ULAN as data value standards
• CCO as data content standard
CDWA LITE TO MUSEUMDAT:
32
Museumdat is developed by the Working Groupe of Data exchange, German Museum Association:
•Event‐oriented approach of CIDOC‐CRM allows for generalizing the format for use with various object data
•CIDOC‐CRM as ISO standard (ISO 21127) is the reference model ➥ a standard metadata format should be CRM compliant
Museumdat is a reconfiguration of CDWA Lite based on CIDOCCRM analysis.
MUSEUMDAT:
33
SPECTRUM is the UK and international standard forCollections Management. It consists of two main sections:
- Procedures- Information requirements
SPECTRUM XML Schema provides a standard formatfor exchanging object records between different collections management systems.
Its objective is the whole world of documentingmuseum collections management.
SPECTRUM
34
LIDO is a format for contributing museum information for resource discovery.
LIDO specified as XML Schema, is the result of a joint effort of the CDWA Lite, museumdat, SPECTRUM and CIDOC CRM communities.
The schema combines the CDWA Lite and museumdat schemas and is informed by SPECTRUM.
Being CIDOC-CRM compliant, it aims at contributing information of all kinds of museum objects for resource discovery.
LIDO LIGHTWEIGHT INFORMATION DESCRIBING OBJECTS
36
• Provide a specification and related XML schema thatdescribes cultural materials appropiately, that is in ameaningful and comprehensive manner
• Allow for contributing data and images relating to your objects to union catalogues
• Deliver the information in a „self-comprehensible“ way, that is a record includes all the necessary information for display and retrieval of your object (core, but good descriptive metadata!)
• Individual data providers can decide on how light – or how rich – they want their contributed metadata records to be
• Include links from contributed metadata back to records in their 'home' context
• Provide optimised metadata for retrieval on one hand and for display on the other -> distinction of display and indexing elements
• Provide references to controlled vocabulary
