Re: [MCN-L] Controlled vocabulary for view description

[Boyce Tankersley]

We have a vocabulary focused on views of plants (flowers, fruits, habit, etc.) 
if that would be of interest.  It was created as part of a collaboration among 
herbaria and botanic gardens.

Many thanks,

Subject: [MCN-L] Controlled vocabulary for view description

Hello,
Does anyone have a controlled vocabulary for a view description field? Or can 
anyone point me to a resource for such a vocabulary/taxonomy? We want to clean 
up our data and make it more consistent across the board. We currently have a 
short list (recto, verso, full view, detail), and then photographers can 
manually enter others that are more specific (full view front, full view side 
proper left, etc.) and have ended up with a hodgepodge of values.

Many thanks,
Kate Mayo

You may have already investigated these, but in case not, there are some 
aggregator/locator services, of which makexyz and 3dhubs seem to be the 
leaders, see e.g.
