Why embed data in images?

This is what we hear…

•There are too many standards

•There are too many fields

•It’s too much work to add all that data

•The labels change depending on the software

•We do things our own way

•There’s no budget for improving our data

•Photographers do pictures not data

Beyond DAM, beyond web …

•Photographers can take control of data for

their images

•Workflow can be made easier

•Embedded data can be used in practical ways

by the public

Photographers

•You have the object or artwork

•You can add data at source

•Photographers need not be locked out of data

workflow (even if they don’t have DAM)

SCREM PROJECT aims

•Make data entry easier at all points in the

workflow

•Extend IPTC fields for heritage metadata

•Encourage people to use the fields available

•Use existing standards to create a practical

schema (SCREM) for embedding and reading

heritage data in images

Data schemas

COLLECTIONS

SCREM XMP panel IPTC

Starts with object

description

Treats object and image

separately and relates to

image workflow

Starts with image

description

Detailed description of

object and its

administration including

movements, exhibition

condition and provenance

More granular data for

object than IPTC, but not

so detailed as

COLLECTIONS

MANAGEMENT.

Granular data about image

and its administration, and

includes key details of

artworks and object

depicted

Used by institutions Can be used by institutions

to exchange granular data

about image and work

Used in image workflow

and publishing/viewing

Granularity principle

How do you want it?

•Granular means you can have your

data how you want it (lumps or

granules)

•Solid lumps can’t be split

Criteria for IPTC candidates

YES if

•about the digital image

•needed to identify source, creator and

copyright of artwork

•links to more granular data on the web

•descriptive data useful for end user

•useful for image retrieval

•can be mapped from other schemas

Criteria for IPTC candidates

NO if

•about movement, condition, exhibition of

work, except where needed for accreditation

•specific to institution holding the work and

not needed by outside users

•detailed provenance (former owners etc)

•about monetary value or insurance of work

Consultation –with interest group

Image libraries, collections management cataloguers, software

providers

Consultation

•We consulted on the scope of the project ,

and the fields needed

•There were 3 iterations, and some areas

where fields were concatenated

Issues

•We could not add unlimited number of fields

•Recognition that authoritative data is held in

collections management system

•Persistence of data -snapshot or link?

•Human or machine readable?

•Technical XMP issues

Principles

•Support registry entries and machine readable data

•Display human readable data

•Link to authoritative sources where possible

•Cater for non-art objects and the way they are

sourced

•Include ‘display’ and ‘search’ metadata

Once we have the data fields, what

then?

•Let people know they exist

•Encourage software adoption

•Get people using them

The usual comment

Speed things up…. create a panel !

The compatibility question

•Infinite multiple values don’t

work with spreadsheet data

exchange

•Compatibility mode has

limited number of values (eg

up to 3 Creators)

•Note that you can hide fields

you don’t want to see!

SCREM panel

•More data fields than IPTC

•Uses IPTC AO fields

•LIDO style event based

schema

•Has fields useful to

photographers eg

inscription

•Aims to be user friendly

SCREM panel blueprint

SCREM panel –event based

Free or commercial….

•Identification is important

•Rights are important

•Descriptive information can be used

•Attribution is about public access to

information

When to embed

WHEN IT AIDS THE WORKFLOW

•Transfering data to the database environment

•Data transfer between departments or

institutions (sometimes)

•Data transfer between image libraries for

commercial sales

When to embed

ALWAYS

•When the image ‘escapes’ from the database

•Any image that can be control-click

downloaded from the web

SCREM

•Uses fields from existing schemas

•Uses some IPTC fields

•Enables exchange of richer data

Labels and standards

•There are too many standards

Use existing standards

•It’s too much work to add all that data

Use automation, hide what you don’t need

•The labels change depending on the software

Make demands on software companies -get used to mapping

•We do things our own way

Fine, but can you share your data?

•There’s no budget for improving our data

You can get it right from now on for very little cost

•Photographers do pictures not data

Not true!

What have we learned about creating

and using standards ?

•Create a small group for the project

•Consult with practitioners

•Provide practical tools for use

•Use open linked data

•Hold tight to the vision –this is a long game

Start Now!
