The Seattle Public Library Century 21 Collection :
Balancing Metadata Complexity, Processing
Expediency and User Experience
Overview
Century 21, Photo by Werner Lenggenhager
Century 21 Collection
Over 1000 photographs plus all manner of
ephemera (menus, posters, maps,
guidebooks, nifty stuff)
Photos depict art and architecture as well
as documenting aspects of the 1962
Seattle World’s Fair
Project Considerations
Resources - staff (cataloging, processing)
CONTENTdm
Existing SPL digital collections
User discovery
Statement of Problem
Images : capturing photographer
information as well as artist/architect,
medium, size, etc. information
VRA Core scheme allows for description
of the image and the work itself using
element set
Background
CONTENTdm
Collections
 The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Digital Collecti
 The Northwest Art Collection
 The Seattle Historical Photograph Collection
Background
Resources
 Three librarians work on digital collections
 One cataloging librarian dedicated to Special
Collections
 One part-time student librarian
Research Question
What are the optimal metadata elements
required to capture the richest descriptive
information on the Century 21 collection
while balancing processing expediency?
Will the metadata mix provide ample
retrieval for users?
Literature Review : Image Project
VIUS/Penn State
 Grant-funded project to develop a digital image
system
 “Super element set” with DC, VRA Core and
some specific admin data for ILS
 Ultimately, they chose CONTENTdm and
mapped all elements to Dublin Core
Literature Review : Image Project
Cornell University
 Faculty collections, three initial collections
including images of ancient Greek inscriptions,
anthropological research from Peruvian Andes
and South Asian architecture
 VRA Core 4.0
 Luna Insight collection software
 Workflow, metadata quality - arduous!
 Issues with controlled vs. local vocabulary
Literature Review : Image Project
Colorado Digitization Project
 Union catalog merged diverse metadata from
participating organizations (EAD, MARC, DC,
VRA)
 Dublin Core chosen as common denominator
 Created and used local vocabulary lists
Literature Review : Resources
Greene and Meissner’s MPLP
 Level of processing complexity should be in
accordance with staffing abilities and balance
detail with expediency
 User access is paramount
Literature Review : Interoperability
Many articles with the bottom line that one
must consider the end use - i.e. harvesting
via OAIster, OCLC when planning
metadata elements
DC wins again
Issues with mapping DC to OAI to MARC
Collection Review : UW
Collections feature similar images, include
architect field which maps to dc.creator
CONTENTdm = flat
VRA Core = relational
Dublin Core common denominator
XML = happy interoperability
Final Metadata
Dublin Core
Extra creator fields for:
 Photographer
 Architect
 Artist
 Author
Final Metadata
Subject
 LCSH used
 Local controlled vocabulary with architects
Description
 Can include more details on contractors and
engineers
Browse by
 Helps users sort materials by building, topic
Discussion
Desire for immediate access,
interoperability and use of CONTENTdm
Collaboration on metadata collection
Other supplementary tools - subject guide,
architect spreadsheet, maps
The Century 21 Digital Collection
Here is a sample of the collection:
