You may find it useful to contact the DIDET project based at the University
of Strathclyde which has investigated some of these issues in relation to
product design. So whilst based in an Engineering Dept. the issues re
storing both student and staff content in the form of photos, sketches,
drawings, etc. are the same - particularly in relation to ownership and
copyright. They are using a wiki-based repository which has an informal
sharing function and more formal longer term storage and access function..
This web site will provide some information.

Subject: illustrative/art materials in repositories
I would be interested in hearing from people who currently have
illustrative material of an art nature (Performance art video material,
photographs of pieces of art, sculptures etc) in their repository and how
they have dealt with this material. What forms of material do you accept
e.g. jpeg, videoclips etc? Do staff do the photography themselves and is
there any problem with quality when the material is loaded? What about
copyright problems when the material includes artworks done by persons
other than the institutions own lecturer(s)? Do you try to get just an
excerpt or refuse to accept it unless the lecturer can get permission from
all other people with material featured on the dvd/video clip/cd? What
other problems have you come across and how have you tackled them or
oversome them? We are just starting out and would appreciate any help or
advice that can be offered by anyone with experience in this field.
Thanks
Sheila
