Mini-Metadata Project: Graphic Novels Using Dublin Core Stephanie Felice San Jose State University July 13, 2017 Introduction During this project, I generate records for a selection of graphic novels and comic books using the Dublin Core schema. Due to their dual focus on textual and visual elements, graphic novels pose unique cataloging challenges. Although Dublin Core can be used to describe both text-based and visual objects, it is generally not regarded as the optimal choice for graphic novels. In an attempt to better describe graphic novels, both user-created and institution-created schemas have been developed in the past fifteen years. I will examine how Dublin Core captures and does not capture the peculiarities present in graphic novels and comic books. The intended environment for this project is a library with a standalone graphic novel collection or a graphic novel collection in a special collections setting. The targeted user groups are graphic novel readers and graphic novel scholars. In real-world settings, this specialized user group and environment has a higher metadata need than the general public. In this paper I will describe graphic novel metadata, explain my schema choice, provide a link to my metadata generator, include ten generated item records and discuss my experiences using DC for graphic novels. Graphic novel metadata Graphic novels can be described as ‘juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or produce an aesthetic response in the reader,’ or more succinctly as ‘sequential art’ (McCloud, 1993, pp. 27). These definitions reflect competing emphases on text and art, depending on the narrative’s requirements. Graphic novels pose several cataloging challenges. Comics are an interactive medium, relying on visual techniques that immerse the reader in the narrative and invite them to participate in interpreting the story. As such, ‘the material properties of the book – the codex form, the leaves and pages, the physical properties of the paper – are inseparable from the structure, pacing and design of the narrative’ (Walsh, 2014). Comics often include paratextual components such as fan mail, editorial notes, celebrations of publication milestones, news and advertisements. These features are not always easy to reflect within traditional schemas and metadata vocabularies. Further, serial comics are published in small monthly issues and then published in volumes that include several issues in one bound book. Volumes are rebound and reissued to celebrate publication anniversaries and film adaptations. Different volumes will include further features such as forewards and alternative cover art. Comics also frequently have a large number of contributors involved. Writers create the narrative; artists can be credited for artwork, letters, coloring, issue cover art or volume cover art. Some artists specialize solely in cover art, which may not be included in every reprinting of an issue. While traditional schemas provide access points to an item’s creators and contibutors, they usually cannot adequately express what each person contributed to the final product. Graphic novels and schemas For most institutions and environments, traditional schema choices such as Dublin Core or cataloging formats such as MARC do an adequate job of describing graphic novels. The core elements present in a graphic novel are captured just as they are for a general collection item. Many institutions will never need or want to pursue any specialized schema. However, the medium is actively collected and curated. Both private and public collections have pursued digitization projects and cataloging efforts to preserve and share their holdings. User-created schemas based on XML and Dublin Core have expanded metadata offerings that reflect contributor roles, issue variations, compilations and paratextual features (Wright, 2014, pp. 3). Schemas like the Comic Book Schema address graphic novels on an item level using the Comic Book Ontology (CBO), a metadata vocabulary for describing comic books and collections (Petiya, 2017). Using the Comic Book Schema, comic book volumes are treated as compilations and each issue is cataloged with separate metadata elements within a single volume. Once metadata is created for an issue, it can combined with any other issue(s) for any compilation. For fully digitized objects, Comic Book Markup Language (CBML) is a model based in TEI describes the contents within a graphic novel. CBML allows for the addition of metadata for text and graphics and also offers the ability to address paratextual elements within the item (Wright, 2014, pp. 4). The extensive language includes fields and controlled vocabularies for features such as transition type between panels, speech bubble styling and diegetic elements (words that both the character and reader see, such as street signs) (Walsh, 2014). Schema choice For this project, I chose to create the records using Dublin Core. DC is a standard choice for text-based items. Although it is not preferred graphic novel metadata, I decided to use DC as my first exploration into graphic novel metadata. By describing my items using DC, I will be able to make observation about how adequately or inadequately it fits the medium. With that knowledge, I can make a more informed decision regarding which schema is most appropriate for graphic novels. Dublin Core metadata generator and template The records created for this project were generated using the Advanced Dublin Core Generator accessed via http://www.dublincoregenerator.com/generator.html. The advanced version of the generator provides opportunities for precision not present in the simple generator. A basic template derived from the Advanced Dublin Core Generator is included below. In cases where more than one entry exists for one element, separate iterations of the element will be used. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <metadata xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/"> <dc:title>Title</dc:title> <dc:creator>Creator</dc:creator> <dc:subject xsi:type="dcterms:LCSH">Library of Congress Subject Heading</dc:subject> <dc:description>Description</dc:description> <dc:publisher>Publisher</dc:publisher> <dc:contributor>Contributor</dc:contributor> <dcterms:dateCopyrighted>Copyright date</dcterms:dateCopyrighted> <dc:type xsi:type="dcterms:DCMIType">Image</dc:type> <dc:type xsi:type="dcterms:DCMIType">Text</dc:type> <dcterms:medium>Graphic novel</dcterms:medium> <dc:identifier>ISBN</dc:identifier> <dc:source>Library of Congress call number</dc:source> <dc:language xsi:type="dcterms:ISO639-3">Language</dc:language> <dcterms:temporal>Temporal coverage</dcterms:temporal> <dcterms:spatial xsi:type="dcterms:TGN">Spatial coverage</dcterms:spatial> <dc:rights>Rights statement</dc:rights> <dcterms:audience>Audience</dcterms:audience> <dcterms:provenance>Provenance</dcterms:provenance> <dcterms:rightsholder>Rights holder</dcterms:rightsholder> <dcterms:accrualmethod>Accrual method</dcterms:accrualmethod> <dcterms:accrualperiodicity>Accrual periodicity</dcterms:accrualperiodicity> <dcterms:accrualpolicy>Accrual policy</dcterms:accrualpolicy> </metadata> Created metadata records The following ten item records were created using the Dublin Core Advanced Generator. Where possible, the records’ contents come from the front matter of the book itself, with Library of Congress Subject Headings taken from the Library of Congress Online Catalog. Terms are either drawn from a controlled vocabulary or used uniformly to maintain record consistency. Both serial comic books and standalone graphic novels are included in this selection of items. To examine the differences in records for related items, I used three Batman volumes (Records 3, 4 and 5) and two sequential volumes of Y: The Last Man (Records 7 and 8).

    BCALA and GNCRT May Have Contributed to the Items Listed Here, and May Have Done So on a Voluntary Or Paid Basis

    BCALA and the ALA Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table: Afrofuturism Last updated March 15, 2021 For the next iteration of our ongoing collaboration between the Black Caucus of the American Library Association (BCALA) and the Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table of the American Library Association (GNCRT), we are presenting themed Black Lives Matter comics reading mini-lists with a continued focus on Black literature. Titles are alphabetically arranged with their target audiences denoted in parentheses: A for Adult, YA for Young Adult, and J for Juvenile. However, many of these stories cross age groups! In addition, each list includes supplementary works for a deeper analysis, and each highlights a Black-owned comics publisher. You may notice that these lists include a slim collection of middle grade titles. This is due to the dearth of readily accessible comics and graphic novels by Black creators by established children’s publishing companies. For younger children, while some board books and picture books may suffice, there is a glaring shortage of middle grade comics and graphic novels by Black creators. Evidence has suggested a significant decline in pleasure reading by age nine (Scholastic’s “Decline By Nine”), a critical year to encourage a lifelong love of reading. As essential discussions are being held surrounding diversity in literature, reluctant readers, and attractive titles for young readers, the necessity for representation must be addressed. We implore publishers to uplift Black voices by hiring Black authors and illustrators to tell Black stories of all genres and topics in which Black readers can see themselves, and readers can view different experiences beyond their own lens.

  • Why Wonder Woman Matters

    Why Wonder Woman Matters

    Why Wonder Woman Matters When I was a kid, being a hero seemed like the easiest thing in the world to be- A Blue Beetle quote from the DC Comics publication The OMAC Project. Introduction The superhero is one of modern American culture’s most popular and pervasive myths. Though the primary medium, the comic book, is often derided as juvenile or material fit for illiterates the superhero narrative maintains a persistent presence in popular culture through films, television, posters and other mediums. There is a great power in the myth of the superhero. The question “Why does Wonder Woman matter?” could be answered simply. Wonder Woman matters because she is a member of this pantheon of modern American gods. Wonder Woman, along with her cohorts Batman and Superman represent societal ideals and provide colorful reminders of how powerful these ideals can be.1 This answer is compelling, but it ignores Wonder Woman’s often turbulent publication history. In contrast with titles starring Batman or Superman, Wonder Woman comic books have often sold poorly. Further, Wonder Woman does not have quite the presence that Batman and Superman both share in popular culture.2 Any other character under similar circumstances—poor sales, lack of direction and near constant revisions—would have been killed off or quietly faded into the background. Yet, Wonder Woman continues to persist as an important figure both within her comic universe and in our popular consciousness. “Why does Wonder Woman matter?” To answer this question an understanding of the superhero and their primary medium, the comic book, is required, Wonder Woman is a comic book character, and her existence in the popular consciousness largely depends on how she is presented within the conventions of the comic book superhero narrative.
