Workflow

PHOTO EDITORS

  • check the size of the file - if less than 1 GB, delete the file
  • check the Template - lots of images have none or old templates - after the template had been checked and corrected, delete TEMPLATE in the status line
  • write Description - when the description is done, delete DESCRIPTION,

when the file is categorised correctly, delete CATEGORIES

  • fill into the Photobox all the data you have on disposal (the date of the photo is sometimes indicated in the metadata - a box at the bottom of file page)
  • if the photo features people, add the information at the end of description (From left to right:...). write PEOPLE into a photo status line in case you do not know the people

EDITORS (by Živa, Admin, Editor)

    • delete the images of low quality or double images with same information
    • check the URL (namespace) - rename (move) the file when needed - ! relevant information after download, data are not interchangeable (Mile Korun - Pohujsanje)
    • add any information into description, check the Related articles
    • solve PEOPLE

Photo status

Photo description guidelines

Style

  1. Minimise use of "in", "at", "on", etc. by using only a comma.
  2. Be consistent with order of information and amount of information whenever and wherever possible. Some information about each photo will not be available or can be added later. Important is that the general order is consistent.
  3. Test for consistency by reviewing all of the photos under a particular article as well as the same photo under different category lists. Another good comparison test is to look at similar articles.
  4. Include title of a performance/exhibition/book/project in English in the "Title" field.
  5. Put the original (Slovenian) title of a performance/book/exhibition/project into the Title line of the Photobox.
  6. Include year when possible, after the name (of group), location (of event), at the end (the date of photo is sometimes in the Metadata (camera data) of the File (below)
  7. If you know who is in the picture, please add their names to the descriptions AT THE END (IN BRACKETS From left to write:... , On the picture:...) - often the ones on the picture are not included in the other fields such as "Artist", etc.). List the names of the people in the picture as they appear from Left to Right. Names of artists can be also added throughout the pipeline by the English editor, Admin or Editor, or even by suggestion of the organisation's representative.
  8. Try to include enough pertinent information in the description that the photo doesn't seem too "generic" if it appears in a category list. It should still attempt to make a clear connection to the organisation if possible. (For example, instead of writing only Mobile Library, 2006 write Mobile Library, Beno Zupančič Library Postojna, 2006.

Formatting rules

  1. In the description you should tag with Internal link the names of Slovene authors and the article name (check for the Culture.si name!)
  2. Use the PIPE for correct tagging in such case: Metka Krašovec's Morje
  3. Follow the general MOS formatting rules for italics. In short: names of "(larger) works literature and art" – visual art works (paintings, sculptures, etc.), plays & performances, art exhibitions, musical albums/CDs, books, epic poems – are in italics. Names of periodicals, magazines and newspapers are also italicised.
  4. Names of songs, short poems, short films, articles, chapters in books, in "double quotation marks".
  5. Names of festivals, conferences, etc. in Title Case without italics or quotation marks. (Use Festival not festival.)
  6. OPEN QUESTION: For the moment keep the terms "Performance", "Theatre performance", "Music concert", "Dance performance" in the descriptions. We will discuss with the editorial team the need and use of this information.
  1. Models can be found at the following articles:
    1. Beno Zupančič Library Postojna
    2. Equrna Gallery
    3. Roza's Theatre
    4. Flota Institute (poses some questions for discussion)
