CLIC: Community Led Image Collections
Description
The CLIC (Community Led Image Collections) study reviewed the growth of community owned digital image collections, surveyed the socio-cultural, institutional and technical barriers owners face in image collection building, and made recommendations on how national initiatives could help in sharing and embedding the collections within the wider national FE and HE sectors.
In liaison with the Technical Advisory Service for Images (dia:tag:=TASI) a survey of 49 themed questions was delivered to as many as possible of the 500 community-based image projects identified by the project.
- The response suggests support for a directory of collections held nationally to promote discovery, or for a portal that allows crosssearching.
- Most image providers did not have sophisticated systems that would allow metadata to be easily harvested or exported. The common metadata standard mentioned by providers was Dublin Core; commonly that their own internal cataloguing could be mapped to the Dublin Core standard.
- 83% of the collections were open access web based systems and 91% cited their collection as of interest to the general public, therefore suggesting that most collections surveyed are arranged for a general educated audience.
- The report contains a profile of a "Typical Community-led Image Collection".
The list of images collections may be a useful resource, but I'm not sure what it offers the current project.
