Research On The Metadata Specification Of Photo Archives

In the 20th century,information and communication technology has been greatly developed.The photography based on mechanical replication technology has undergone tremendous changes.Digital photography has become one of the most important life record methods and carriers,resulting in large-scale digital photos.And a huge amount of photo information.Libraries,museums and archives have been dedicated to the digitization of traditional photo archives for nearly half a century.The digital archives are used as a platform to search and manage photo archive resources for readers to visit,review and use.Related research.The information description of photo archives by domestic and foreign map archives is formulated from the perspectives of archival science,library science and museum science.The main focus is on cataloging photographs as archive objects,and less on photographs from the perspective of photography.A description of the attribute and content attributes.On the one hand,it is because the photo archives lack relevant background information in the process of collecting and collecting;on the other hand,it is also due to the lack of photography elements in the relevant information framework.Both of these lead to the lack of full proof of the photo,and also make the photo file not professionally defined in the field of photography.In particular,in the face of the increasing reading needs of the public,the existing photo archive information description can not help readers to better interpret photos,and can not meet the research needs of various professional researchers.This paper refers to the existing metadata specification,integrates and studies the existing metadata specifications,and attempts to establish a set of digital photo archive metadata based on photography and photo physical attributes and content attributes.The establishment of archive metadata meets the information needs of digital photo archives and exerts the evidence value of photo archives,thus helping readers to better interpret photo archives and bring more possibilities for researchers to analyze photo archives.
