[MCN-L] Rights Statements

2016-04-19 Thread Sarah Clark 
After taking a quick look at the Rights Statements (at
http://rightsstatements.org/page/1.0/?language=en ), I'm having difficulty
determining which statements might support my museum's desire to protect its
rights regarding physical materials that it owns.  My understanding has been
that collections we own (and our photographs of them) are protected by civil
and contract law.  Has anyone else out there encountered that concern?

Announcing the launch of RightsStatements.org
In May 2015, the International Rights Statements Working Group released two
white papers with our recommendations for establishing standardized rights
statements for describing copyright and reuse status of digital cultural
heritage materials, and the enabling technical infrastructure for those
statements.   After working for nearly a year to implement the
recommendations of the white papers, the Digital Public Library of
America and
Europeana are proud to announce the launch of
RightsStatements.org.

Re: [MCN-L] Image Metadata for Physical dimensions of subject of image

2016-04-19 Thread Sarah Gillis 
Hi Dave,

I am embedding physical dimensions into the image files of the subject 
depicted.  I use the VRA Metadata Panel/Palette (we're going back and forth on 
a relaunch name).  With this tool, multiple dimensions can now be added for one 
image file.  

http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com/w/page/74156486/VRA%20XMP%20Info%20Panel 

At present, I'm not sure if we follow specific standards in our data entry for 
the measurements, but have a working group which came to a consensus on how 
dimensions should be captured for our collection.  

3D objects are H X W x D, centimeters first, then inches. If the object is on a 
mount, we add a separate dimension for the mount/base, and then an overall for 
both together. 

Paintings are canvas, then framed, then frame only.

Works on paper is Image then plate (if detected), then sheet. 

All of this information is added from the database to the image files within my 
workflow. I add all basic cataloguing information of the object as well as 
Getty thesauri terms (which are now linked through the Panel) so that it 
matches the original cataloguing records as much as possible. 

I am intrigued by this ruler and look forward to testing this further. Thanks 
for sharing! 

I hope this helps!

Subject: [MCN-L] Image Metadata for Physical dimensions of subject of image

Greetings,

The IIIF specifications allow for a data service to be registered that returns 
physical scale metadata for images which, in turn, can be used to render a 
ruler on-screen in order to convey image scale.

http://iiif.io/api/image/2.0/
http://iiif.io/api/annex/services/

I'm curious if anyone is embedding the physical dimensions of the subject of 
their photographs as metadata in the image and if so:
1. what metadata standard(s) are you using, and 2. is this practice part of 
your imaging workflow or done ad-hoc?

Thanks,

Dave Beaudet
