14. ARTISTE (INTEGRATED ART ANALYSIS
AND NAVIGATION ENVIRONMENT)
EU FP5 project from 1 January 2000 - 30 June 2002. The objective
of the project is to develop and prove the value of an integrated
art analysis and navigation environment aimed at supporting the
work of professional users in the fine arts. The environment will
exploit advanced image content analysis techniques, distributed
hyperlink-based navigation methods, and object relational database
technologies. It will build on existing metadata standards and indexing
schemes. The ARTISTE project will build on and exploit the indexing
scheme proposed by the AQUARELLE consortia.
The ARTISTE project solution will have a core component that is
compatible with existing standards such as Z39.50. The solution
will make use of emerging technical standards XML, RDF and X-Link
to extend existing library standards to a more dynamic and flexible
metadata system. The ARTISTE project will actively track and make
use of existing terminology resources such as the Getty "Art and
Architecture Thesaurus" (AAT) and the "Union List of Artist Names"
(ULAN).

15. DUBLIN CORE METADATA INITIATIVE
The Dublin Core is a metadata element set intended to facilitate
discovery of electronic resources. Originally conceived for author-generated
description of Web resources, it has attracted the attention of
formal resource description communities such as museums, libraries,
government agencies, and commercial organizations.
The site includes links to RDF generation tools.

16. GETTY STANDARDS PROGRAM
The Getty Standards Program enhances worldwide access to information
on the visual arts and related disciplines by promoting guidelines
and practices critical to developing, managing, and delivering information
online. The Program produces and/or promotes standards and guidelines,
listed on their website. A Vocabulary Program is also linked.

19. OPEN ARCHIVES INITIATIVE (OAI)
The OAI is a metadata harvesting initiative to improve resource
sharing. The original aim of the Open Archives Initiative was to
provide an infrastructure for interoperability among sites supporting
author self-archiving and thereby promote their wide acceptance.
Although the Initiative generally concentrated on technical matters,
its mission reflected its roots in the e-print community and the
underlying political agenda to promote the ongoing transformation
of scholarly communication. The inaugural meeting of the Open Archives
Initiative (OAI) in October 1999 spawned an agreement now known
as the Santa Fe Convention.
The Santa Fe Convention is currently undergoing a major revision
as a result of:
The experiences obtained with the implementation of the original
Santa Fe convention
The emerging interest for the application of Santa Fe convention-concepts
as a general interoperability framework for resources outside
the domain of e-prints, where the Open Archives Initiative had
its origin.
A special technical meeting of the Open Archives Initiative was
held on September 7-8 2000 at Cornell University. As a result
of this meeting, a more stable and refined agreement will be published
by January 2001. The September meeting report introduction states:
The Santa Fe Convention is a set of relatively simple interoperability
agreements that facilitate a minimal but potentially highly functional
level of interoperability among scholarly e-print archives through
metadata harvesting.
The interoperability agreements are a combination of organizational
principles and technical specifications The Convention gives data
providers -- individual archives -- relatively easy-to-implement
mechanisms for making metadata in their archives externally available.
This external availability then makes it possible for service
providers to build higher levels of functionality, mediator services,
using the information made available from scholarly archives that
adopt the convention. These services may combine and process information
from individual archives and then may offer increased functionality
to support discovery, presentation and analysis of data originating
from compliant archives.

20. RSLP COLLECTION DESCRIPTION PROJECT
This project works with other UK Research Support Libraries Programme
(RSLP) projects, enabling them to describe their collections in
a consistent and machine readable way. Based on a thorough modelling
of collections and their catalogues, the project has developed
a collection description metadata schema and associated syntax
using the Resource Description Framework (RDF). A simple Web-based
tool enables projects to describe their collections and there
is a prototype search service based on a database of such descriptions.
