[MCN-L] Creative Commons and Embedding metadata into images

2013-10-25 Thread Reser, Gregory
Hi Marianne,

I head the Visual Resources Embedded Metadata working group 
(http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com ).  We have done a lot of research and built 
a lot of tools for embedding information about cultural heritage images. 

One thing to consider is what fields you will use based on how you expect users 
to access the data.  There are a core set of fields read by most software and 
then there are specialized fields used for ingest into granular schemas, like 
VRA Core.
Take a look at our Basic embedded metadata for photos of art and architecture
http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com/w/page/59200201/Basic%20artwork%20metadata%20guidelines
 

You can read about the VRA custom info Panel at:
http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com/w/page/32300275/VRA%20XMP%20Info%20Panel%20(beta)
 

The VRA panel does include Creative Commons fields in the Image section, but 
the rest of the panel might be more granular than you need.  If so, you can 
hide the fields you don't need in the customization screen.

For batch importing, we have an export/import plugin for Bridge:
http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com/w/page/48025141/VRA%20Panel%20Export-Import%20Tool
 

It works with tab-delimited text files which you can edit in Excel.  Again, it 
has a lot of columns you may not need to import, but you can just leave them 
blank and use the columns that fit your need.

Feel free to contact me for help.


Thanks,

I would be interested in being put in touch with others that are embedding 
metadata into images in large groups and putting them up on creative commons. 
Particularly if you have put together any standards and/or instructional 
documents.
