INTRODUCTION
The
VRA Core Categories, Version 3.0 consist of a single element set that can
be applied as many times as necessary to create records to describe works
of visual culture as well as the images that document them. The Data
Standards Committee followed the "1:1 principle," developed by the Dublin Core
community, i.e., only one object or resource may be described within a single
metadata set. How the element sets are linked to form a single record is a
local database implementation issue. The order of the categories in the
VRA Core 3.0 is arbitrary, and local implementations are encouraged to
determine their own field sequence that will appropriately describe their
data.
The VRA Core 3.0 is intended as a point of departure—not a completed application. The elements that comprise the Core are designed to facilitate the sharing of information among visual resources collections about works and images. These elements may not be sufficient to fully describe a local collection and additional fields can be added for that purpose. We also recommend the use of qualifiers with certain elements in the VRA Core 3.0 so that the data values contained in the element may be more precisely identified For instance, a “Notes” qualifier to clarify the data may be an appropriate addition to many of the current elements. Furthermore, every element may be repeated as many times as necessary within a given set to describe the work or image.
How does VRA Core 3.0
relate to VRA Core 2.0?
The
VRA Core 3.0 conflates the Work (W) and the Visual Document (V) element
sets from VRA Core 2.0 into a single universally applicable element
set. Core 3.0 retains the same order of elements, and where
possible, the same category titles and definitions that were used in Core
2.0. Users of the Core 3.0 will wish to rearrange these
elements in their local applications into sequences which reflect their
needs.
Because work and image records use
the same element set, a new element—Record Type—was added. This element
defines the type of resource that is being described. While the Core
elements pertain to only two types of records - the work and the image, it is
understood that other types of records such as authority records may be included
in a database structure. Like VRA Core 2.0 , VRA Core 3.0 refrains
from recommending any type of data structure. Instead, it is hoped that the core
elements will help to determine the types of data recorded in a visual resources
database and that the concepts can be used to map between databases. However,
two elements in VRA Core 3.0 - Record Type and Relation - describe or
point to the record itself. A consideration of the record and its relationship
to other records requires the acknowledgement of data structure particularly
evident in the Relation element.
VRA Core 3.0 also includes a new “Rights” element as well as new
category qualifiers.
What is a
Work?
In the context of the
VRA Core 3.0, a work is a physical entity that exists, has existed
at some time in the past, or that could exist in the future. It might be
an artistic creation such as a painting or a sculpture; it might be a
performance, composition, or literary work; it might be a building or other
construction in the built environment; or it might be an object of material
culture. Works may be single items, or they may consist of many
parts.
What is an
Image?
An image is a
visual representation of a work. It can exist in photomechanical,
photographic and digital formats. In a typical visual resources
collection, an image is a reproduction of the work that is owned
by the cataloging institution and is typically a slide, photograph, or digital
file. A visual resources collection may own several images of a
given work.
The term “visual document”, which was used in the VRA Core 2.0, has been eliminated because a visual document could be defined not only as an image but as a type of work, such as a preparatory sketch or an architectural plan for a building.
How do Work records and
Image records link to each other?
How the VRA Core 3.0 element sets are linked to form
a single record is a local database implementation issue; however, it is assumed
that work records will be linked to the relevant image
records. For many collections, the creation of two linked element sets to
describe a work (e.g., a painting) and an image (e.g., a slide of
that painting) will be sufficient. In other cases a work (e.g., a
building) might be linked to multiple images (e.g., digital images
showing different aspects of the building). However, it will become increasingly
common to associate two or more image records with a given work
record to document the existence of different formats—slides, digital files,
photographs, etc. Naturally most people will not want to create more
levels than necessary in order to describe the sequence from work to
image. Often only two element sets will be necessary; however,
sometimes intermediate sets will be unavoidable.
It is possible to repeat and link together the VRA Core 3.0 element set in order to more fully describe a work for which a “visual document” (i.e., another work) exists. For instance, one might use an element set to describe a building's structure and another linked element set to describe the” visual document” (e.g., a site plan). The image record(s) will then be linked to the appropriate work record. This will allow views of the building to be associated with the primary work (the building) and images of the plan with the record for the “visual document.”
How does one Work record
relate to another Work record? Relationships between two works may be either
essential or informative. An essential relationship exists
where the described work includes the referenced work, either physically or
logically within a larger to smaller context. With works that have an essential
relationship, it is recommended that the Title.Larger Entity qualifier
always accompany the title for the part. An informative relationship between two works exists when the described and
referenced works could stand independently and the relationship is informative
but not essential either physically or logically in identifying either of the
works. The link between the works should be reciprocal and the data values
should include the identity of the related work and a description of the type of
relationship. Core 3 Relationship types are consistent with the for the DC
Relation element.. Dublin Core Qualifiers
(Element Refinements)for the DC Relation element.. A detailed list of types
and examples will be included in the Guide to Good Practice:
Cataloguing Standards For Describing Cultural Objects and Images (expected
publication, early 2003).
Am I required to use every
category? May I repeat
categories? How do I control the data values
for each element? The VRA Core 3.0 is a work
in progress Category
attributes Standards
Recommended VRA CORE
CATEGORIES, Version 3.0 Example 1 Record Type = work Record Type = Work Record Type = work
Only those elements which are
relevant for a specific record should contain data. There is no need to
place any data value, including "n/a" or "unknown" into these elements to
indicate that they are blank. There is no requirement to include a minimum
number of elements in order to create a valid record.
All categories and
qualifiers are repeatable. Moreover, identical data values may be used in
more than one category. For Example, works with no title may require a
description based upon values that define the object type, materials, original
location, owenership, etc. Values used in the title may be repeated in other
categories used to describe the work.
The Data Standards
Committee recommends the use of controlled vocabularies, particularly the Getty
vocabularies and other standard authorities for use with many of the categories.
No single authority will suffice for the entire set of the VRA Core Categories,
Version 3.0 or even in many cases for a single element in the set. We
suggest that collections compile a list of data content vocabularies and
authorities which are appropriate for use for each field in their local
applications. We also suggest that each collection limit the number of
authorities or vocabularies used in
each
field, and, if possible, to indicate which authority has been used. We
recommend that collections develop uniform ways of entering data into the fields
of their local applications. Some of these issues will be addressed and
resolved by the Committee when it compiles further guidance and recommendations
for the use of controlled vocabularies.
Although the basic
categories are set as prescribed in this document, the Data Standards Committee
will continue to develop the VRA Core 3.0 in the following
areas:
-- mapping to CDWA, MARC and other
metadata standards.
-- further guidance on
recommendations for the use of controlled vocabularies.
-- additions to the Compendium of Examples.

COMPENDIUM OF EXAMPLES
The following examples were created to demonstrate how the
VRA Core Categories 3.0 might be implemented. Variations in data content
(and the way the data is entered) are
intentional in order to illustrate variation in practice.
Some of the examples include the use of the Core for local administrative
metadata (e.g., digital images made from slides). We include these to
illustrate how the Core might be used to describe various derivatives. Please
Note: these examples were created by the Data Standards Committee and do
not represent the cataloging work of any institution.

Nuremburg on Feb. 16, 1541. The arch incorporates elements from the Arch of
Titus in Rome and from Serlio's Libro d'architecttura. It was removed after the
occasion, packed away, and was modified for reuse later for the triumphal entry
of Emperor Matthias. Eventually it disappeared. Our primary
pictorial knowledge about this arch is contained in a broadsheet--a woodcut by
Peter Flotner and in a preliminary drawing attributed to Georg Pencz, who was at
that time the official city-painter of Nuremberg.
