  4. What am I describing? [tasks are referred to as: cataloging, describing, registering, managing, creating metadata …] Need to understand: 1. Catalog level 2. Work vs. image 3. Related works

  5. 1. Catalog Level Item Group Volume Collection Series Set Component

  6. Works may be • complex, consisting of multiple parts, • created in series • First question: Are you dealing with a part of a work that belongs to a larger whole?

  7. . Catalog Level 1. Item – an individual object or work, may be composed of multiple parts or components

  8. . Catalog Level 2. Group An archival group (or record group) is an aggregate of items that share a common provenance. • several thousand items (e.g., the entire body of drawings, models, and written documents from an architect's office) • a few items (e.g., a handful of surviving drawings from one architectural project).

  9. 2. Group (cont.) • a group often contains many different types of objects • cataloging focuses on the description of coherent, collective bodies of works

  10. . Catalog Level 3. Volume A volume comprises sheets of paper, vellum, papyrus, or another material that are bound together. • printed books, manuscripts, sketchbooks, or albums

  11. . Catalog Level 4. Collection A collection comprises multiple items that are conceptually or physically arranged together for the purpose of cataloging or retrieval. • A collection differs from an archival group because the items in a collection are bound informally for convenience and do not necessarily share a common provenance or otherwise meet the criteria for an archival group.

  12. . Catalog Level 5. Series A series comprises a number of works that were created in temporal succession by the same artist or studio and intended by the creator(s) to be seen together or in succession as a cycle of works.

  13. . Catalog Level 6. Set A set is an assembly of items that the creator intended to be together (e.g., a tea set, a desk set, a pair of terrestrial and celestial globes). • A set differs from a collection in that it is typically smaller and was intended by the creator to be grouped together. the object comprises bowl, lid, and stand

  14. . Catalog Level 7. Component A component is a part of a larger item. • A component differs from an item in that the item can stand alone as an independent work but the component typically cannot or does not stand alone (e.g., a panel of a polyptych, an architectural component).

  15. Levels of cataloging in different disciplines • Most common levels: • groups, subgroups, volumes, and single items • Archives: • group level – intellectual or physical groups • Museums: • item level -- assigning accession numbers and other catalog information to every individual object in their collections. • Libraries: • volume level -- typically do not catalog individual prints or illustrations in the pages of a volume.

  16. 2. Work vs. Image A work • is a distinct intellectual or artistic creation limited primarily to objects and structures made by humans • including • built works • visual art works • cultural artifacts • … … A work is a physical entity that exists, has existed at some time in the past, or that could exist in the future.

  17. 2. Work vs. Image An image • is a visual representation of a work. • It typically exists in • Photomechanical format • Photographic format • digital format • In a typical visual resources collection, an image is a slide, photograph, or digital file. • Images do not include three-dimensional physical models, drawings, paintings, or sculptures, which are works in their own right.

  18. Work vs. Image: an example • Data set describing a chair that was documented by a photograph. The photograph was later copied to a slide format and scanned to create a digital image. • Frederick C. Robie House dining chair • Designer: Wright, Frank L. (1867-1959) • See VRA Example 3.http://www.vraweb.org/resources/datastandards/vracore3/examples.html

  24. Relationships between Work and Image Records • In a relational database structure • a record for the image would be linked to a record for the work

  25. one work – many images • a work may be linked to multiple images (e.g., when there is more than one image of the work) Stonehenge

  26. one image – depicts multiple works • an image may be linked to multiple works (e.g., when more than one work appears in the same image)

  27. 3. Related works • Related Works are those having an important conceptual relationship with each other • Records for Related Works are linked to each other in the database. • An intrinsic relationship is essential and must be recorded to enable effective searches. • An extrinsic relationship is not essential; although recording it may be informative, the cataloger need not identify the extrinsic relationship during the cataloging process.

  28. Intrinsic relationship-- a direct relationship between two works • Whole-Part Relationships • Group and Collection Relationships • Series Relationships • Components and Architectural Works

  29. Extrinsic Relationships--two or more works have a relationship that is informative, but not essential The described work and the referenced work can stand independently. • = a see also reference in a bibliographic record • temporal association: e.g., with works done after the original work, such as works that clearly reference other works while not necessarily being copies of them. • spatial association: e.g., two or more works intended to be seen together.
