Good Morning everyone! Although not exactly articles, there are two UK resources which could be useful in this context. The MDA publish a number of white papers as part of our SPECTRUM Terminology service. These include a paper on Terminology for Museum Managers which goes into the business case for the application of controlled vocabularies: http://www.mda.org.uk/spectrum-terminology/termman.htm For a more directly 'digital asset' spin, you could also refer to the UK Technical Advisory Service for Images (www.tasi.ac.uk) which provides resources on deciding when and why to use a Digital Image or Asset Management system.

[MCN-L] IP SIG: Gowers Review of Intellectual Property
With thanks to Christine L. Sundt for forwarding this: Subject: Gowers Review of Intellectual Property Gowers: A step in the right direction The British Academy welcomes the publication of the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property. The intellectual property regime is crucial for the development of, and access to, knowledge. In particular it impacts on the way in which researchers in the humanities and social sciences are able to use research material. We are pleased that the Gowers Review has recognised that the UK copyright system should be more flexible in its application, and endorses the principle that 'fair uses' of copyright can create economic value without damaging the interests of copyright owners. These arguments were made powerfully by the Academy both in its response to Gowers, as well as in its subsequent report, Copyright and Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The Academy report found that recent developments in technology, legislation and practice have meant that the specific exemptions provided by copyright law are being overridden in some cases, to the detriment of new research, scholarship and criticism. As Baroness Onora O'Neill, the President of the British Academy, said: The Gowers report represents a step forward in the current debate about whether the UK's intellectual property regime is fit for purpose. The Academy report on copyright showed that the copyright system was in important respects impeding, rather than stimulating, the production of new ideas and new scholarly material in the humanities and social sciences. We note with interest that Gowers agrees with several of the recommendations made in the Academy report. These include: issuing guidance on what should be defined as a 'reasonable search' for orphan works; retaining the term of protection on sound recordings at 50 years; allowing private copying for research to cover all media; increasing the co-operation between the UK Patent Office, the Office of Fair Trading and the Competitio! n Commission to ensure that rights-holders do not use their rights in abusive ways; and making it easier to circumvent DRM (digital rights management tools) to allow copying for uses deemed legitimate under 'fair use' exceptions. The Gowers Report favours a broad 'fair use' exemption for copyright, similar to the one current in the United States. The Academy welcomes this, but continues to believe that clarification is required of the scope of these exemptions to ensure their continued effectiveness in securing their intended purposes, which may require some new legislation. The Academy report found that the 'fair use' exceptions are increasingly being narrowly interpreted by rights holders, including publishers, and that this impedes scholarship and the creation of new original works. While the legal grounds for these extensions of copyright are weak, there is an absence of case law because the financial stakes involved in each individual case are small relative to the costs of litigation. As Professor Kay, who chaired the Academy working group which produced the report, said: Many! of these difficulties would be resolved if there is greater clarification regarding the various exemptions, so that less reliance is placed on custom and practice. The Academy published with the report a draft set of guidelines for scholars and publishers setting out their rights and duties under copyright legislation. On-line versions of the report and guidelines are available from http://www.britac.ac.uk/reports/copyrighthttp://www.britac.ac.uk/reports/copyright http://response.pure360.com/_act/link.php?mId=A81856037057326141686tId=867http://response.pure360.com/_act/link.php?mId=A81856037057326141686tId=867 844 1. The Academy's Review was set up in November 2005 before the establishment of the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property. The Review Working Group took the lead in preparing the Academy's response to the call for evidence that was issued in February 2006 by the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property, which was established by the government to examine the UK's in intellectual property framework, and determine whether improvements can be made to it, especially in the context of rapid technological change and globalisation. The Academy's submission to Gowers is available from http://www.britac.ac.uk/reportshttp://www.britac.ac.uk/reports http://response.pure360.com/_act/link.php?mId=A81856037057326141686tId=867http://response.pure360.com/_act/link.php?mId=A81856037057326141686tId=867 845 . The timetable of the Academy's Review meant that its report was published in September 2006 before the publication of the Gowers report in December 2006! . 2.

[MCN-L] History of Museum Gaming?
Hi Richard, I think I have a fairly complete file of all the Spectra issues in paper going back to the beginning. If you know what issue(s) might have your info - let me know, I will scan and send... But I don't have the time to dig through them for references until February, I believe we had an archivist at one point in time - Does anyone remember who? Someone at the SI? There should be another complete set there. The first Museum to have a website? Good question. I remember the first collections to have images tied to their databases - back in the early 80's - the Eastman House Museum in Rochester New York and the Helen Allen Textile Collection at UW-Madison (WI). We were all envious at the first public kiosks - National Gallery London and Seattle Art Museum spring to mind - although it was a hot time for that and there were likely others.

[MCN-L] Need for controlled vocabularies
I'll second that! I came on board 4 years after record entering started here with anyone able to add any term they chose to the supposedly controlled fields in our system. The result is chaos. Not only do you have to consider every possible term that someone might have used when searching for something, but you also have spelling errors and language variants. For example, if you are searching for Antarctic images, they might have been categorised not only as Antarctic, Antarctica, Polar, exploration, Arctic (for the geographically challenged!) South Pole, Trans-Antarctic Expedition, Transantarctic Expedition, TAE, British Antarctic Expedition, BAE, etc, but you also have to consider 'Antartic', 'Antartica', and many other possible variations. Photographs can be referred to as image, photograph, black and white print, print, large photograph, etc, as well as more specific terms (carte de visite, lantern slide etc). No system is going to create order out of chaos. If you don't know what you need out of it at the end, you are will get a mess. Ask your clients what they expect to be able to do with the result. If they want to find all images of a particular type or of a particular subject, or limit searches to particular photographers, these are all areas that need to be controlled (try searching by photographer when you have 9 different spellings of their name, and several others with similar names). Plan now - even if it delays the start of data entry for a year, it will be worth it. It is almost impossible to undo a mess afterwards, and even trying takes much longer than the original data entry.

[MCN-L] DAMS comparisons?
Hi again everyone: I'm wondering if anyone has developed a comparison of various DAMS systems from the museum perspective, much like CHIN has done for Collection Management systems? I'm finding some from a business perspective, or for individuals, but nothing that applies to museum-specific needs. CHIN does have links to several How-Tos and to different companies, but again, they've not appeared to go into it from a cultural heritage perspective. I suspect that there isn't one out there, and so if anyone has an evaluation form they've created, I'd be completely grateful if you're willing to share. Thanks for all of your help, both now and in the past (and, I daresay, in the future) -- Perian Sully Collection Database and Records Administrator Judah L.
