An indication of the substances or materials used in the creation of a work Term establishing whether the record represents an individual item or a collection, series, or group of works. CDWA conflates "location" and "repository" as equivalent things. Here a repostitory is any entity that is responsible for an object. Through Repositories Objects are associated with a location. It is unclear whether Surrogate and Views are disjoing from the CDWA and CCO documentation. In some cases, Views are a kind of surrogate, in other places a surrogate has different properties. Here they have been made disjoint classes. cdwalite: Term used to categorize a work by grouping it together with other works on the basis of similar characteristics, including materials, form, shape, function, region of origin, cultural context, or historical or stylistic period. cdwalite: The specific vantage point or perspective of the view. http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/cdwa/1object.html#RTFToC2a A collection comprises multiple items that are conceptually or physically arranged together for the purpose of cataloging or retrieval. Information about generic concepts needed to catalog or describe the work, including the type of object, materials, activities, its style, other attributes, or the role of a creator. CDWA http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/cdwa/definitions.html#genericid CCO A.3.1.1 http://vraweb.org/ccoweb/cco/partthree_a3.html cdwalite: Titles, identifying phrases, or names given to a work of art, architecture, or material culture. For complex works, series, or collections, the title may refer to a discrete unit within the larger entity (a print from a series, a photograph in a collection, a panel from a fresco cycle, a building within a temple complex) or it may identify only the larger entity (series, collection, cycle) itself. cdwalite: Term used to categorize a work by grouping it together with other works on the basis of similar characteristics, including materials, form, shape, function, region of origin, cultural context, or historical or stylistic period. A controlled list of terms. Both CDWA and CCO present very confusing and complex ideas about what is a "work" which are often confused with "objects" and/or "Items" This ontology strictly restricts objects to the role of "art work" because that is largely how it used in CDWA. Clearly documentary books, photographs or drawings are also "objects" but CDWA insists that they are disjoint. http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/cdwa/1object.html#Obj_Wk_Comp CDWA claims that an element may also describe :the members of the group, collection, or series described. This is clearly a mereological error conflating different kinds of whole-part relationship as outlined by Winston & Chaffin. The kinds and numbers of parts of the object or work. The concept of "types" is used through the CDWA, e.g. "The kind of object or work described". In this ontology the type class is a general type class that would include all CDWA Type statements. An geospaatial location, e.g. the address of a repository. CDWA Lite: Information about the images or other resources that serve as visual surrogates of the work. recommended units of measure cdwalite: A term or terms identifying the specific kind of object or work being described. For a collection, include repeatable instances for terms identifying all of or the most important items in the collection. A format for core records for works of art and material culture. cdwalite: The relationship of an image or other resource to the work being described. CDWA discusses a variety of dates. This class is intended to accomodate anything that must be associated with a date. cdwalite: A description of the state of the work; used primarily for prints and other multiples. Citations to sources of textual information related to the work of art or architecture being described, including published bibliographic materials, Web sites, archival documents, unpublished manuscripts, and references to verbal opinions expressed by scholars or subject experts. Location relative to a particular object. e.g. the location of an inscription or work component. The shape of a work, used for unusual shapes (e.g., an oval painting). An indication of the well as any implements, production or manufacturing techniques, processes, or methods incorporated in its fabrication. The name of the culture, people, or nationality from which the work originated A description of a work of art that associates it with a defined style, historical period, group, school, or movement whose characteristics are represented in the work. CDWA: A series comprises a number of works that were created in temporal succession by the same artist or studio and intended by the creator(s) to be seen together or in succession as a cycle of works. cdwalite: The name, brief biographical information, and roles (if necessary) of the named or anonymous individuals or corporate bodies responsible for the design, production, manufacture, or alteration of the work, presented in a syntax suitable for display to the end-user and including any necessary indications of uncertainty, ambiguity, and nuance. generic concepts represented in the CDWA Lite schema and CDWA Core categories. This is not an exhaustive list of concepts. CDWA discusses a number of different identifiers that are used in different contexts. This is a general class of all identifiers. CDWA identifies Groups when discussing "levels of cataloging." Here a group is defined as a disjoint class from Objects and Collections. An archival group (or record group) is an aggregate of items that share a common provenance. Unclear whether insriptions are proper parts of objects. cdwalite: A description or transcription of any distinguishing or identifying physical lettering, annotations, texts, markings, or labels that are affixed, applied, stamped, written, inscribed, or attached to the work, excluding any mark or text inherent in the materials of which the work is made (record watermarks in Display Materials/Techniques). This category records information about images or other resources that serve as visual surrogates of Object/Works, including digital images, slides, transparencies, photographs, videos, audio, and moving images, but excluding items that are considered works in their own right. Described by CDWA Lite as "resources." cdwalite: Information about the size, shape, scale, and dimensions of a work of art or architecture. CDWA does not provide a formal definition for what a "work" is, except to indicate that its scope is "works of art, architecture, other material culture, groups and collections of works, and related images" In CCO: a work is a distinct intellectual or artistic creation limited primarily to objects and structures made by humans, including built works, visual art works, and cultural artifacts. Information about a named iconographical, literary, mythological, or religious character, animal, theme, or story, or a named historical or fictional event. It may also contain information about a named structure, particularly if the structure is not cataloged separately as an work in its own right. http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/cdwa/definitions.html#subjectid Information about artists, architects, and other individuals and corporate bodies responsible for the design and production of works of art and architecture. This authority may also contain information about patrons, repositories, and other people or corporate bodies important to the record for the work. http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/cdwa/definitions.html#creatorid cdwalite: Information about rights management; may include copyright and other intellectual property statements required for use regarding the work. If the holder of the reproduction rights to the image/resource differs from the rights for the work, use rightsResource described below. National or cultural affiliation of the person or corporate body. cdwalite: An identification of the related image or other resource that will be meaningful to end-users. Information about geographic places important to the work of art, architecture, or to the creators. This authority includes administrative entities, such as nations or cities, and physical features, such as rivers or continents. http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/cdwa/definitions.html#placeid cdwalite: Terms that identify, describe, and/or interpret what is depicted in and by a work. These may include proper names (e.g., people, events, places), iconography, themes from literature, or generic terms describing the material world, or topics (e.g., concepts, themes, or issues). CDWA never explicitly states that records are a kind of textual documentation, but from the definition of this superclass it seems plausable to consider metadata and cataloging as a kind of textual documentation. cdwalite: A description of the edition of the work; used primarily for prints and other multiples. cdwalite: The generic identification of the medium of the image or other resource. digital image, photograph, slide, videotape, X-ray photograph, negative, internegative, albumen print, duplicate slide This class was created in order to restrict Objects to only being "art." cdwalite: A relatively brief essay-like text that describes the content and context of the work, including comments and an interpretation that may supplement, qualify, or explain the physical characteristics, subject, circumstances of creation or discovery, or other information about the work. The configuration of a work, including technical formats, used as necessary. The source of information in the record, generally the repository or other institution. Link of the metadata A unique record identificaton in the contributor's (local) system. An expression of the ratio between the size and the representation of something and that thing. (e.g. the size of the drawn structure and the actaul built work). Used for studies, record drawings, models, and other representations drawn and constructed to scale.) Unique ID of the metadata of the related object. The shape of the work, used for unusual shapes (e.g. an oval painting). cdwalite: A word or phrase that elaborates on the nature of the measurements of the work when necessary, as when the measurements are approximate. An expression of the ratio between the size of the representation of something and that thing (e.g., the size of the drawn structure and the actual built work). Used for studies, record drawings, models, and other representations drawn or constructed to scale.
