VRA Core data standard now hosted by library of congress

摘要

The VRA Core is a data standard for the description of works of visual culture as well as the images that document them. The standard is now being hosted by the Network Development and MARC Standards Office of the Library of Congress (LC) in partnership with the Visual Resources Association. VRA Core's schemas and documentation are now accessible at: www.loc.gov/standards/ vracore/ while user support materials, such as VRA Core examples, FAQs and presentations, will continue to be accessible at: www.vraweb.org/ projects/vracore4/ In addition, a new listserv has been created called The Core list (VRACORE@LOC.GOV). The Core list is an unmoderated computer forum that allows users of the VRA Core community to engage in a mutually supportive environment where questions, ideas, and tools can be shared.
