Final Project

 

Starr's Final Project

 

For a sneak peek at some of the information to be included, take a look at my dad's webpage, featuring the story of my Grandpa Elmer "Brock" Brockmeier's time as a POW during WWII. It also features a number of family pictures and keepsakes related to the story.

 

• Online Family Archive
  • a webpage describing the project to family members and requesting help locating objects to include in the collection
• Artifact Wishlist
  • webpage listing specific objects that I wish to use in the collection, and which family member possesses that object
• Metadata Thoughts
  • a webpage with thoughts concerning the development of my metadata scheme (Metadata Report)

 

Current Issues / Questions

• I plan on using the mp3 file format for audio (WAV for master files?).
• What file format should I use for video?
  • see the Moving Image Collection
• How will audio and video be "played" through contentDM?
• Will I have some kind of thumbnail image for audio/video?
  • maybe use icon; headphones and movie camera

 

Metadata Thoughts

 

Final Project Requirements

There are 3 parts of the project you will turn in along the way:

• metadata report
  (report/presentation)
  • You must select a metadata schema and DTD appropriate for you collection. CONTENTdm utilizes the basic DC elements. You are welcome to use that but you need to create a controlled vocabulary for your collection. We will discuss your collection and choice of metadata scheme in class for feedback and input.
  • be prepared to explain why you chose the metadata scheme
  • show __an example of your controlled vocabulary__
  • due October 24th
• midterm: 20 records (presentation)
  • You will present 20 records of your collection to the class as part of your midterm. This will give you an opportunity to have your collection searched by students and gain feedback.
  • due October 24th
• final project (presentation)
  • You will show off your final work during the last 2 class periods. Your presentation should highlight the unique aspects of your collection. We will also look at the metadata and test the search features you have set up.
  • due December 5th
