![]() ![]() Your metadata and your notes can be exported in formats that we can use for the next stage of our project. You can also share your templates by exporting them so that your colleagues are working with the same scheme. You can then close the window, and when you select a photo in your collection, you can select your new metadata template to describe the item you’ve got. you can also drag and drop the different fields so that they’re in the order you want.It’s something you’ll need to discuss with your colleagues, and document in your devlogs. ![]() Which fields? Well, that depends on the data we get to work with. you’ll want to look at the full description of the vocabulary to decide which fields you’ll need, given the material that we are working with from the museums. Think carefully, read the original documentation and descriptions. you’ll want to select things from the cdesc vocabulary that we just imported now can add fields to our template, which are in the ‘property’ window.give the template a new name in, then hit the create button.To create a new template (see also this help file): Dismiss the error message, and then look at your list of terms: You’ll see a whole bunch at the end of the list that seem to be Italian these are your new archaeologically related metadata fields (the scheme for which originated in Italian archaeology!)Ĭreating a metadata template using that vocabulary You can ignore this, because it’s saying that some of the terms in the new vocabulary are being used by another vocabulary. You might get the following scary error message:īelieve it or not, you can ignore this warning your vocabulary did load. In Tropy, go to preferences, metadata, and then click on the plus sign. Now we want to add that vocabulary to Tropy. It’s not immediately apparent, but this label on the timeline is what you click on to get the n3 file. ![]() Click on the label, and you’ll download the n3 file. There’s a timeline down there, and the labels on that timeline correspond to releases of the vocabularly. To download that description in the n3 file format, scroll to bottom of the page. You can see the full description of all of the fields of data, the kinds of information it describes, here. This one: looks like it might be useful for us. I scrolled through the list - there were over 600 options - and this was the first one that seemed vaguely appropriate to our purpose. You can see a large list of vocabularies that should import easily into Tropy here. ![]() You can add vocabularies to Tropy’s list of metadata vocabularies in order to use them in your metadata templates. A lot of work goes into making vocabularies that capture the full complexity of a field, and that can be linked to other collections so that when two collections are talking about the same kind of thing, well, we know that they’re talking about the same kind of thing! Importing a new vocabulary to describe our items For many of you, that’ll be archaeological vocabularies. Now, Tropy can be customized so that we use a controlled vocabulary that is appropriate for the domain that we are working in. This is what it looked like when I added them to Tropy. I’d suggest you read Tropy’s own documentation on what is metadata? to understand what is going on here. The metadata fields allow you to describe the item separate from the photos. You might in fact have more than one photo of an item - think a few photos of pages in a diary, for instance. You’ll see that once you’ve imported some photos, you can add notes under any of the photos, and metadata to describe the photos. You can’t break anything just give it a spin. I’d suggest doing this, and then importing photos you have on your machine to just play around with the interface. Now, you can create a project under File -> New -> Project. Make a note of the location of the Tropy user forums there’s a lot of really good discussion and information there that might help us in the future. Please also, if you spot someone has left an annotation, read their annotation and respond appropriately and helpfully if you can. If you get stumped by any of the steps below, or would like some clarification, please highlight the relevant text and leave an annotation in our class Hypothesis group.
