Description ProcessWDL Description team:• Professors, scholars, researchers, and other field experts• Editors • Description Coordinator• Partner Reviewers
Function:• To produce a summary that explains each item and highlights its significance• To illuminate the material in a way that is accurate, succinct, and engaging, working with
information provided by partners, subject specialists, and other authoritative resources
Process:Pre-description: determine and execute the appropriate course of action for the writing and
editing processes, i.e.:– how to improve existing descriptions provided by partners – pinpoint the appropriate expert to write descriptions, if they are not provided
Writing: supplement pre-existing descriptions or produce original onesEditing: substantive edit and copy-editPartner Review: evaluation of WDL-edited descriptions by partner institutionFinalizing: final approval before description is sent to Metadata team
World Digital Library www.wdl.org
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICES
Metadata Process Original metadata creation
• Edit English title, read and check the description• Find or verify names in VIAF• Verify publication date and language used in the material• Verify place names in TGN• Assign appropriate topics and additional subjects• Clean “Notes” and “Physical Description” fields• Add collection title if needed
Metadata review • Review each field to make sure there are no errors• Verify the names, DDC, and subjects, etc.
Batch metadata creation • Analyze metadata to develop strategy and workflow• Create metadata mapping and decide output format• Create or/and verify generic information, names, places, DDC, and subjects, etc. • Develop and create macros and scripts• Process metadata in batch using various tools• Final review of the metadata in Metadata Management App

RU, ZH)• One reviewer per language
Translation process• Pre-translation when content is submitted to us in a language other than
English• Translation into six languages, using translation management systems such
as CAT tools• In-context review and quality control on our staging website

Pre-capture Set Up
Examine materials to be scanned for issues/problems Identify balance between adequate informational
capture and quality, physical item size, file format and compression, resolution and bit depth, and master file size
Ensure equipment is properly focused, has capture profile set (including no auto-sharpening), and that the monitor is calibrated
Ensure proper and equal distribution of lighting Good practice to shoot with a commercial color bar or
grayscale

Pre-capture Set Up
Risks during imaging- Physical damage- Exposure to light- Exposure to heat- Disassociation
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICESWorld Digital Library www.wdl.org
Information Capture / Scanning
• Targets, color bars, and grayscales
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICESWorld Digital Library www.wdl.org
Information Capture / Scanning
• Bit Depth [informational and artifactual value]
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICESWorld Digital Library www.wdl.org
Information Capture / Scanning
• Color Modes- RGB [red, green, blue]- CMYK [cyan, magenta, yellow, key (black)]
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICESWorld Digital Library www.wdl.org
Information Capture / Scanning
• Color Space and Profile- sRGBsRGB is the only appropriate choice for images uploaded to the web since most
web browsers don't support any color management.
- sRGB IEC61966-2.1 - Adobe RGB (1998)Adobe RGB images that are uploaded to websites without conversion to sRGB
will generally appear dark and muted.
- Grayscale - Gray Gamma 2.2
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICESWorld Digital Library www.wdl.org
Information Capture / Scanning
• Resolution [PPI/DPI]- 2400+ ppi (slides)- 300-600 ppi (archival)- 72/96 ppi (on screen/download)
Rule of thumb: Longest side of the image should be 3000 pixels
4 inch x 5 inch photo @ 600 ppi = 2400 x 3000 pixels
File size = (width pixels x height pixels x bit depth)/8(2400 x 3000 x 24)/8 = 21,600,000 bytes or 20.6 MB

Expert Descriptions: Nominal Process for Review and Evaluating Quality
Question: What is an Expert Description on the WDL?
Answer: It is a summary that explains each item and highlights its significance. It illuminates the material in a way that is accurate, succinct, and engaging. It is developed by working with information provided by partners, subject specialists, and other authoritative resources.
World Digital Library www.wdl.org
Jason YasnerWDL Operations Manager
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICES
Expert Descriptions: Nominal Process
1. Do we have adequate information from the partner, both metadata and what the partner has provided as descriptions, to produce the descriptions we need for the WDL?
Does the description answer the following questions: “What is this object and why does it matter?”
World Digital Library www.wdl.org
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICES
Expert Descriptions: Nominal Process
2. If the initial description (and metadata) are inadequate to create a usable WDL description, is there additional information on the Partner Institution’s Web site directly linked to this item that could be used to do so?
This may not be initially known because there may be different people involved in creating the metadata than were involved in creating these sites.
World Digital Library www.wdl.org
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICES
Expert Descriptions: Nominal Process
3. If the answers to 1 and 2 both turn out to be “no,” i.e., the Partner Institution does not have a description that can be used, is there an existing, authoritative source (online or in hard copy) that contains a usable description for the item or items in question, or the raw material to create such a description?
Description writers need to remember that they are dealing with digitized versions of real objects, many rare and unique. Description writers are trying to highlight the significance of these objects and provide context. They shouldn’t write just about the objects (as in the bibliographic literature) or just about the context (as in general sources such as Wikipedia), but must do a bit of both, relating one to the other.
World Digital Library www.wdl.org
World Digital Library www.wdl.org OSI | WEB SERVICES
Expert Descriptions: Nominal Process
4. If the answers to 1, 2, and 3 are all “no,” we have no alternative but to produce a new description from scratch. This can either be done by going back to the Partner Institution and asking them to produce a new description, or, if for some reason the partner cannot produce a description (it may not have available staff or language expertise, for example) to engage WDL staff and expert contractors to do the description and then run by the partner for comment/approval.
Examples of research strategies used by WDL.
