• Image Capture/Scanning• Acquisition and Processing• Image Quality Control• Metadata Creation (ARTstor requires item-
level control)• Metadata Mapping and Enhancement• Legal Review• Ingest to ARTstor• Long-Term Storage

• Image quality is inadequate or images have been over-processed
• Image sizes are inconsistent or don’t meet the minimum requirements and it is hard to weed them out by size
• Images and metadata don’t match (image and/or data orphans)
• Metadata is inconsistent and cannot be easily mapped
• Metadata is too minimal to be enhanced or needs additional cataloging

Data Enhancements to Facilitate Advanced Search
![Page 18: Organizational Relationships and Shaping the Digital Resource July 21, 2010 Johanna Bauman, Senior Production Manager, ARTstor](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649eb15503460f94bb7774/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Review sample images before agreements are signed and provide guidance from the outset
• Provide documentation of best practices for image enhancement and metadata creation
• Provide potential contributors with Excel templates for cataloging
• Set contributors up with custom XMP panels for cataloging their images
![Page 19: Organizational Relationships and Shaping the Digital Resource July 21, 2010 Johanna Bauman, Senior Production Manager, ARTstor](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649eb15503460f94bb7774/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Larry Qualls – Photographer creating born digital images and cataloging them in Adobe Bridge using a custom panel
Christopher Roy – Scholar with existing digital content that needed to be cataloged
Milton Rogovin – Existing scanned photographs that needed to be cataloged

Benefits Challenges
Clear relationship between image and metadata
Schema that come bundled with tools like Photoshop and Portfolio do not meet the needs of the cultural heritage community
Ability of the contributor to see the image while they are cataloging it rather than having to move between the image and a spreadsheet
It is harder for contributors to edit and review the embedded metadata so there is a higher margin for spelling errors and the like
When using existing tools, such as Bridge there is an easy way to associate the same data with multiple records
If contributors are using their own custom panels it may be hard to identify and extract the data
![Page 21: Organizational Relationships and Shaping the Digital Resource July 21, 2010 Johanna Bauman, Senior Production Manager, ARTstor](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649eb15503460f94bb7774/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
It is intended primarily to support the activities of archivists and librarians who received digital files with embedded metadata and need to extract data to upload to local systems
Extracts all XMP namespaces as well as EXIF fields targeted to meet NISO 739.87 standards that could be ingested into a PREMIS-based preservation system
Checks if files are corrupt Checks for the presence of a custom panel and
whether or not required fields have been filled in

Developed on the Adobe Air platform, which is available for download for free
Currently in QAWill be available for free download
from the ARTstor website and as an open source application by the end of 2010
![Page 23: Organizational Relationships and Shaping the Digital Resource July 21, 2010 Johanna Bauman, Senior Production Manager, ARTstor](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649eb15503460f94bb7774/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Networked image management platform that will allow institutions to build, manage, access, and share visual content across their own campuses and integrate it with ARTstor images
Partnering with eight colleges and universities in developing the tool set and infrastructure (Harvard, Cornell, Yale, NYU, Colby College, Middlebury, University of Illinois, U of Miami)
Tools will include: image management, cataloging, content management, and delivery
Will facilitate sharing of collections with other institutions as well as providing content to the ARTstor Digital Library
