  1. Describing artifacts: A look at the concepts of CDWA

  2. CDWA GuidelinesGoogle search for ‘CDWA’ (http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/cdwa) Cataloguing Cultural Objects: A Guide to Describing Cultural Works and Their Images (book) UIUC full access: http://bit.ly/uiuc-cco

  3. CDWA: “conceptual framework for describing and accessing information about works of art, architecture, other material culture, groups and collections of works, and related images.”

  4. Categories for the Description of Works of Art

  5. A set of categories for the description of works of art

  6. CDWA • Framework for articulating art and material culture • Not a schema • Includes core concepts CDWA-Lite • XML schema of core CDWA concepts CCO • Set of principles and examples for cataloguing material culture, borrowing from the core CDWA categories

  7. “Establish the logical focus of each Work Record, whether it is a single item, a work made up of several parts, or a physical group or collection of works. Clearly distinguish between Work Records and Image Records.” (Ten Key Principles of CCO, CCO 2)

  8. "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat.

  9. “An especially knotty but not uncommon example can be found in the archives of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. The institute owns a 35-mm slide copied from a lantern slide of a photograph by Erwin Panofsky, a distinguished 20th-century art historian. The photograph is of a 15th century Dutch manuscript page that depicts a 2nd-century Roman sarcophagus.”

  10. Related Works: “important conceptual relationship with each other” Intrinsic relationships Whole-part relationships Group and Collection relationships Series relationships Components and Architectural Works Extrinsic Relationships
