3.5 Image Level
Last but not least in the core 4-tier hierarchy of the database: the images. Without which there would be no DS. Much work has gone into this aspect of the database in recent times, with new means for tracking the workflow around photography (via Worksheet and Status), the photographic process itself (via Technical Metadata), and the crucial link between image record and image (via URLs). The entire procedure assumes that you, the cataloguer/inputter, will begin by choosing a page to be photographed, and will create a record for that image. Everything flows forward from there. If instead photography is done before the records for the images are created, you will eventually need to take one of two possible actions:
- insert the already extant image file name into the image record (see Digital Object ID and Capture ID; ultimately see also Derivatives / URLs).
- change the extant image file name to match that of the database-generated Digital Object ID
The result is in the end the same, but a photography-first work order will add the above extra step.
3.5.1 Manuscript Metadata
3.5.1.1 Revisit, Suppress Images
3.5.1.2 Digital Object ID vs. Image ID
3.5.2 Technical Metadata
3.5.2.1 Capture ID
3.5.2.2 Legacy Image
3.5.2.3 Status of Images
