• W157587609 abstract "IntroductionMany modern metadata schemes are flexible enough to describe visual resources such as photographs, visual works of art, and digital visual materials. Machine readable cataloging (MARC), Dublin Core, Metadata Object Description Schema, and others are useful in describing these resources. However, one scheme that was designed specifically for visual resources is VRA Core.VRA Core was created by the Visual Resources Association (VRA) as a data standard for the description of works of visual culture as well as the images that document them (VRA, 2013). The full scheme includes 18 elements for metadata entry that describe both the image itself and the work that carries the image. But while VRA Core is a useful and thorough way to describe images, only a small fraction of information organizations use VRA Core to do so.While use of VRA Core may increase in the coming years, it is not possible to predict how many institutions will adopt this scheme or which institutions will do so. It may also be unlikely that an institution that acquires records created with VRA core will adopt the scheme in the future, and it is certainly unlikely that it will adopt it because of its acquisition of such records. Therefore, it is important to be aware of issues regarding crosswalking of VRA Core to other metadata schemes.This essay explores the possibility of crosswalking VRA Core records to another metadata scheme, specifically MARC. MARC is one of the most popular schemes in use today; thus it is likely that any given information organization will use MARC for at least some of its records. It is therefore practical to assume that VRA Core records acquired by an institution will at some point be converted to MARC records. This essay looks into the conversion of VRA Core to MARC, starting with a literature review that covers the history and use of VRA Core and the institutions that use it, as well as a few sample records taken from VRA Core's Web site and then crosswalked to MARC. It is the goal of the author to demonstrate how crosswalking from VRA Core to MARC is accomplished, and to expose any challenges in the process that must be overcome.Literature reviewThere are perhaps dozens of metadata schemes that organizations can choose from to effectively describe their collections. One reason for the large number of schemes is that the cataloging and metadata needs of an organization will vary depending on the type of materials handled by the organization. Visual resources are one type of material for which an organization may require a metadata scheme. The metadata needs presented by visual resources will be met most effectively by a scheme that was designed specifically for visual resources. One such scheme is VRA Core, which was designed for visual resources by the Visual Resources Association (VRA).This literature review will present a brief history and description of VRA Core, followed by a discussion of the importance of assigning metadata to visual resources. The review will then explore the possibility of crosswalking VRA Core to another metadata scheme, specifically machine readable cataloging (MARC), and why such crosswalking might be desirable.History and Description of the VRAA description and brief history of the VRA can be found on the association's Web site. The description on the Web site reads:The Visual Resources Association is a multi-disciplinary organization dedicated to furthering research and education in the field of image management within the educational, cultural heritage, and commercial environments. The Association is committed to providing leadership in the visual resources field, developing and advocating standards, and offering educational tools and opportunities for the benefit of the community at large. The VRA implements these goals through publication programs and educational activities. (VRA, 2007, p. 1)One of the standards developed by the VRA is VRA Core, a metadata scheme created for the classification and organization of visual materials. …" @default.
