Thanks Jasmine and Allison -- this is very helpful. I was totally barking up the wrong tree. Tone charts lend themselves to all sorts of possibilities both at the the metadata and discovery levels. I don't know what we'll wind up doing, but it's hard to imagine we won't incorporate at least some of this logic. Would be killer if a diagnostic tool like VisualDX had this built in as this makes more sense as a limiter than some of the other stuff. kyle On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 1:29 PM Allison Morrissey <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > For skin pigmentation, perhaps the Fitzpatrick scale? > > On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 4:18 PM Kirby, Jasmine S [LIB] <[log in to unmask] > > > wrote: > > > Maybe https://www.fentybeauty.com/shade-finder.html since it has > numbers. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Code for Libraries <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Kyle > > Banerjee > > Sent: Thursday, January 3, 2019 15:13 > > To: [log in to unmask] > > Subject: [CODE4LIB] Controlled vocab useful for describing skin tone > > > > Howdy all, > > > > I'm trying to wrap my mind around an image project that allows clinicians > > and students to see how different medical conditions visually manifest > > themselves on different skin tones and types. > > > > I suspect we'll use ICD-10 to describe conditions, but I'm curious as to > > what recommendations people might have for a relatively simple skin color > > vocab.
