Metadata is information that describes other information. Metadata allows information to be codified and described in standardised ways. Metadata is useful in that it allows information to be searched for and retrieved via reference to standard descriptors and metadata is managed within systems of storage, or for purposes of processing or manipulation 

There are different kinds of objects ( books, video, photographs…) and information form ( history, cultural, academic…), and different institution may also have different missions and collecting policy and also different needs from variety of group of people.

Data is established and it should be interoperable so that institutions can share the information.

A metadata scheme is the set of descriptor types available to be applied to information. Numerous standard schemes have been developed to address specific information use and management needs. These standards have emerged from the needs of specific interest groups to standardise how they classify information. 
One of the most prominent general standards is the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, which looks to define some basic general attributes of information – attributes essentially which can apply to all information, such as Title, Creator, Subject, Description – and to set some rules for using them. Elements of the Dublin Core are frequently incorporated in other standards, which have a particular instead of general focus, for example the Australian Government Locator Service (AGLS) Metadata Standard, which is designed to accommodate descriptors relating to the areas of activity associated with government in Australia.
This are other web sources I used in my project.

For cataloguing:

All the pictures I have are mainly for file for health care studies, and they are from different sources of news agencies and institutions. As for most of documentary pictures, these are the essential parts like the title, and photographer, time, medium and object.

Most of the pictures do not mention the photographer’s name or nationality. A lot of them are from news agency like Reuters or unprofessional photographer of the institution.

All objects are photographer with technology of gelatin silver print.

As for other category:

1.     Subject topic is very important, for it may show the inventors, leading figures in certain fields.

2.     Subject content deals with the certain filed the pictures cover, like the black disease, in-vitro fertilization, etc.

3.     Subject location and corporation concern the names and places of the institutions, clinics, and hospitals, etc.  

4.     Caption on the recto is important background information.

5.     Inscription, most of them on verso of the pictures, is also important sources of the fields and provinces.

6.     Image size and condition, I used cm for measurement and a general description of the condition for preservation, for it is not arts pictures, I did no give too much details of the condition, except those of great importance and need special treatment.

7.     Copy right is important to protect the right of the copy right owner and also your self.

The crosswalk is way to transfer database from source to another, for example between Dublin care and MARC 21. It  is very useful, then I began to understand more what we have done with MARC record.  I used the MARC record from my assignment 2, I am not sure about the fields of  Dublin Core:  source, relation, coverage. But I think it is very useful course.

I wrote down my classnot in pencil with a lot of digrams, I did not kept too much blog note.

search other libary–scroll down to bottom–search by country…..

crosswalks—different language

http://lcweb.loc.gov/marc/marcdocz.html  Database– Dubin-core

I set up the table for my database, can you have a look for me on Thurday of my fields catalogue? I am not sure about thumnail.

 Thanks.

Best JIM

2. Is SQL chapter 4 necessay to read for this assignment?

2. Difference of DEC and INT?

 For last class set up, I finally worked it out, but I missed the last two step, will you please have a look for me tomorrow, thanks.

Best JIM

2. When we see , for example on page 32, Quert OK, 0 rows affected. What does it mean?

3. page 26, when it says that for DEC, INT, we do not have to use single quote, but even we use it, it will  not influence too much, then why should we bother to rember when we shall use single quote or not, can we just use all single quote for DEC, INT, VARCHAR< BLOG…?

4. Page 37, when insert VALUES, I saw all first characters were capitalized, but not e-mail, do I have to capitalize all the first characters?

5.  Difference between DESC and SELECT on page 42?

6. I do not understand how the RDBMS tell ‘IN’ represent innovative, fabulous…?

Thanks.
