| - | //Culture// is provides a way to record what a work of art is //about// or what a photograph is //of//. Subject analysis for images can be incredibly diffucult when doing image cataloging, but ask yourself one question... What do you see? The answer will often will lead to an appropriate subject heading, (including elements found in abstract paintings where the composition includes no representative subject matter, but rather only lines and color). | + | In //Culture// record the culture or nationality from which the work originated. Culture may repeat the creator nationality or allow to further contextualize a work if the the culture is different or more specific than the creator's nationality. Culture may also repeat Style_Period when a cultural term is commonly used to describe a style. For example if the artist's nationality is American, but the artist is an African-American, that can be recorded in the Culture field. Also when an architect works in another country, you may want to repeat the field in order to record the culture of the architect and also the culture in which the building was created. |
| - | Use the English language equivalent from the thesaurus, unless none exist. Use the singular form if only one of the subject is depicted and pural when more than one is shown. For example a painting showing a field of flowers might have a subject for 'flowers' while a photograph of a single flower could have 'flower' as a subject. Try to be as specific as possible. If the photograph is of a rose use 'rose' rather than 'flower' for a subject. If you don't know the specific type of flower you can use the generic 'flower' as a subject. | + | Capitalize terms for culture and nationality. Avoid abbreviations. |
