To build good data. • Using standards and controlled vocabularies will make the data more consistent, more usable in‐house and in broader environments, and more able to withstand changes in technology and practices over time • The greatest investment in cataloging is the human investment, with experts analyzing and recording data • You do not want to re‐do this effort if you move to a new system or share your data in new environments • Although of course you will wish to edit and add to data as you acquire new or additional information over time • Your goal should be to record correctly once, and re‐use data as needed going forward • This presentation is a discussion of appropriate standards and vocabularies • For a full discussion of managing a project, see “When we mean to build, http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/managing_project.pdf We first survey the plot, Then draw the model;” William Shakespeare, King Henry IV; Part II, Act I, Scene III (Lord Bardolph) © J.
