What are ARTstors standards for descriptive metadata and cataloging?
Descriptive data records make it possible to find images within ARTstor and enhance the usefulness of the images for teaching, learning, and research by providing important contextual information. A key challenge and goal for ARTstor has been to integrate these descriptions in such a way that users of the Digital Library can search and browse across disparate image collections in a unified way without losing the integrity of the original descriptions.
