We are using the CORC service from OCLC
(http://www.oclc.org/oclc/corc/index.htm) to catalog digital collections
such as images and digitized audio and video collections. I would be
interested if others are using it, and what they think. We use Open Text
for access to SGML materials. Thanks in advance -Bob H-

Hi Everybody,
I've been meaning to ask this for a while now... What do other
institutions do to manage their Digital Images? At the Berkeley Art
Museum, we have been developing a database which we will use to
manage the metadata on our digital assets in the same way in which we
manage our art collections with a Collection Management System. I
think we have started thinking about the digital images we create as
a collection in its own right which needs to be managed & conserved.
Eventually, the database will also be able to automatically spit out
xml and ead mark-up on the Objects documented.
Does anyone have a similar set-up, or a different solution to
managing digital images? If you are part of a consortium (e.g. you
are contributing to AMICO), how do you hand over your images & the
metadata pertaining to those images? Does the consortium dictate a
solution, e.g. you have to use a certain CMS which allows the
tracking of surrogates & metadata? Or has anyone developed their own
database / spreadsheet layout etc. to keep track of digital files?
Let's talk!
