This webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 19th, 2021, 21:00 UTC and
is free (but registration required).

There are a variety of new cultural domains for which we need to
design metadata schemas. It is widely recognized that data models are
crucial to design metadata schemas – we need to identify objects for
which we create metadata. This webinar aims to present a set of
generalized data models designed for metadata about resources in
cultural domains such as intangible cultural heritage and popular
culture. The presenter will first introduce the generalized data
models and then discuss data models designed in the Media Arts
Database project and related projects in which they are involved.

Learning objectives for the webinar

* Data Modeling for Digital Archiving of Cultural Entities:
Fundamental aspects to model tangible/intangible entities in the
cultural domains for organizing them as a digital collection.

* Data Modeling for Media Arts (manga (Japanese comics), animation,
video games, new media arts and performing arts): Data models as a
foundation for metadata schema development in new cultural domains as
a case study.

* From Item-centric organization to Content-oriented organization of
metadata for digital collections: Shift in the organization for
digital collections from traditional item-centric resource
organization to content-oriented resource organization in the Internet
and Linked Open Data environments.

Shigeo Sugimoto received his BE, ME and PhD degrees from the
Department of Information Science, Faculty of Engineering at Kyoto
University and specializes in software engineering and computer
languages. He joined University of Library and Information Science
(ULIS) in 1983. ULIS became the Faculty of Library, Information and
Media Science at the University of Tsukuba (iSchool@Tsukuba) after an
institutional merger in 2002. He has served as a faculty member for
over 35 years in Tsukuba until his retirement in 2019. He is now a
professor emeritus at the University of Tsukuba.

He first attended Dublin Core Workshop at Canberra in 1997. Since
then, he has been actively involved in the Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative (DCMI). He is a member of the Governing Board of DCMI.

His current research interests are technological and fundamental
aspects for metadata in the cultural and historical domains, which
include intangible cultural heritage, media arts, sports and natural
disasters.
