The DLF has joined the the Getty Grant Program in sponsoring the Visual Resources Association (VRA) to review and evaluate existing data content standards and current practice in order to compile a manual that may be used to describe, document, and catalog cultural objects and their visual surrogates. The guidelines will be available in 2003. The proposal describing the work is available from http://www.diglib.org/standards/vrawork.htm. Information about the Visual Resources Association is available from http://www.vraweb.org
