- Visual
Resources, An International Journal of Documentation
- A study of images and their use. Those images which depict architecture
and works of art are of primary concern. The process by which
these images are made, organized and ultimately utilized is investigated.
This journal explores how visual language is structured and visual
meaning communicated and also illustrates how picture collections
are acquired, organized, indexed, and preserved. Its scope delves
into the past and looks toward the future. Included herein is
an analysis of how reproductive images have influenced the perception
of art, and how the interpretation of images has affected academic
disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, history, and
particularly art and architectural history. Visual Resources examines
early attempts to document the visual, reports on the state of
visual resources, assesses the effect of electronic technology
on the future use of visual materials, and provides a platform
for the reporting of new ways to organize and access visual information.
It hopes to incite further experimentation and speculation about
the potential uses of visual materials, and to increase the appreciation
of visual documentation

Visual Resources Association Bulletin
-
- As the World Wide Web has emerged as a major research tool across
all fields of study, the concept of metadata has become a crucial
topic. Metadata, which can be broadly defined as "data about
data," refers to the searchable definitions used to locate
information. This issue is particularly relevant to searches on
the Web, where metatags may determine the ease with which a particular
Web site is located by searchers. Introduction to Metadata defines
this little-understood concept, explains its importance and potential
uses in the networked environment, and describes existing metadata
standards in the field of cultural heritage information. A glossary
of terms and expressions and a selected bibliography provide useful
information for understanding this timely topic.
