Systems for Managing Image Collections Everyone’s collection and context is unique, so your choice of a system (or systems) for managing your images will require a careful assessment of your needs and resources and an evaluation of the available options. This paper provides an overview of a number of different approaches to image management: from some very cheap and ‘low-tech’ approaches to much more complex and specialised solutions. |

CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model This document is the formal definition of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (“CRM”), a formal ontology intended to facilitate the integration, mediation and interchange of heterogeneous cultural heritage information. The CRM is the culmination of more than a decade of standards development work by the International Committee for Documentation (CIDOC) of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). Work on the CRM itself began in 1996 under the auspices of the ICOM-CIDOC Documentation Standards Working Group. Since 2000, development of the CRM has been officially delegated by ICOM-CIDOC to the CIDOC CRM Special Interest Group, which collaborates with the ISO working group ISO/TC46/SC4/WG9 to bring the CRM to the form and status of an International Standard. |

Building semantic bridges between museums, libraries and archives: The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model Building semantic bridges between museums, libraries and archives: The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model by Tony Gill The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model is an object–oriented domain ontology for the interchange of rich and heterogeneous cultural heritage information from museums, libraries and archives. It is the evolutionary result of over two decades of collaborative international standards work by ICOM/CIDOC, the Comité International pour la Documentation of the International Council of Museums. This paper briefly explains the purpose, scope, structure and history of the CIDOC CRM, and outlines how it could be used as a building block in a global Semantic Web of culture. |

Metadata for Digital Resources Documentation is a crucial part of any digitisation project. Careful recording of all aspects of a digital collection and the circumstances surrounding its creation can make the difference between a resource which has limited value beyond the context in which it was originally created, and one whose value extends far beyond this context and may be used extensively by the academic community in perpetuity. This paper will discuss different forms of documentation, from unstructured information to resource discovery and preservation metadata. The paper should enable anyone embarking on a digitisation project to make informed choices about how to successfully document their digital resources. |

The Case for New Economic Models to Support Standardization Efforts by C. Lynch We are beginning to recognize that standards documents are really a form of "public good," reflecting and recording achievements of intellectual consensus among a broad community of developers, rather than representing acts of individual creative authorship. They serve as a social construct and intellectual record. Standards draw their value from wide availability and adoption. Some standards organizations have attempted to capture and control standards under copyright law in order to establish a revenue source; but this reduces and limits the value of standards for both developers and users. As social documents and artifacts, standards need to be freely available to the public, particularly in electronic form, where the duplication and distribution costs are negligible. Electronic access provides the clarity and the luxury to cast access to these documents idealistically. |
