Hi Melissa,

We launched our First World War Collections database last year to coincide with the centenary commemorations. It currently has over 800 items including objects, archive material and photographs with more items being added all the time. The site is completely bilingual (Welsh version of the site available too)

Here's a link to the site - http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/first-world-war/?

Example of a record - http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/first-world-war/?id=4940

Best Wishes

Richard.

Subject: Good examples of metadata alongside digitised content?

Hi folks,

I'm teaching metadata in class tomorrow, and I find myself scrabbling
(again) to find any examples of full metadata in the cultural and heritage sector, using VRA or IPTC or even Dublin Core. What I'd really like is a site that had various examples of a digitised image of something, plus all the metadata that goes alongside that item (this information is generally seldom public facing). I'm wondering why such a site doesnt exist, and what it would take to put it together... but in the meantime, would anyone care to share with me one good example of an image plus ALL of its metadata that you have? We really need examples of these to show students and to help teach them about the best practice, the complexities, and what people are actually doing in the sector...

Any help gratefully received, and if its not in time for tomorrow, no matter! I can keep examples for class next term!

best

Melissa
