NISO Releases Draft Standard for Technical Metadata for Digital Still Images
Z39.87 released for 18-month community community review in collaboration with
Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM)
http://www.niso.org
http://www.niso.org/standards/resources/Z39_87_trial_use.pdf
A new data dictionary Z39.87, has been released for community review
defining a standard set of technical metadata elements for digital images.
Such a standard should enable users "to develop, exchange, and interpret
digital image files. The dictionary has been designed to facilitate
interoperability between systems, services, and software as well as to
support the long-term management of and continuing access to digital image
collections."

IMLS REPORT: Status of Technology and Digitization
in the Nation's Museums and Libraries
http://www.imls.gov/Reports/TechReports/intro02.htm
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a primary funder of
digitization projects in US libraries and museums, issued this report in
May, 2002. Based on a survey sent to state library agencies, academic
libraries, public libraries, and museums, the report presents key statistics
such as: 87% of museums, 99% of public libraries, and 100% of academic
libraries and state library agencies use some kinds of technology, including
desktop computers with standard office software, access to the Internet, and
e-mail.
The report provides a breakdown of which technologies are the most
commonly used in different agency types. State library agencies ranked
highest in digitization, with 78% reporting digitization projects in the
last year. Many libraries -- 34% of academic and 25% public -- as well as
about 30% of museums, had ongoing efforts. Overall, the report provides a
wealth of statistics on what types of materials institutions would like to
digitize and technologies they plan to implement. Also included are brief
mentions and links to selected, exemplary digitization projects (funded by
IMLS) in all agency types. The report is available in both HTML and Adobe
Acrobat (.pdf) formats. [DS]
