Metadata Guidelines for Digital Still Images (Revised)

Abstract

These guidelines contain instructions for cataloging digital still images (photographs) as part of the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) Defense Virtual Library (DVL). This project was initiated by DTIC in cooperation with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI). Over 60 data elements (fields) have been described, all of which conform to the Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) and Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd edition (AACR2) standards. MARC guidelines follow those in "MARC21 Format for Bibliographic Data." Examples for each data element and sample records are presented. This manual is also available at the Defense Virtual Library Web site, http://dvl.dtic.mil:8100/notes.html
