English abstract

Author examines the different types of metadata schemes used for the documentation of cultural heritage images with their common characteristics and compares their appropriateness. Also, discusses the possibilities and issues for effectively incorporating the metadata standards while designing the cultural heritage image documentation systems to curtail the semantic issues and to make them interoperable with other external services. The study revealed the hurdles to develop an ontology without integrating two or more schemas, which could incorporate both tangible and intangible cultural resources without any issues of semantics and interoperability; for its integration and dissemination. The findings can enhance the current understanding of metadata standards available for the cultural heritage domain and also help in their selection while creating a cultural heritage image system.
