Description of 8 categories and 23 subcategories of printed matter, manuscripts, and pictorial materials. The Working Group’s recommended specifications for the digital reformatting of these items (under development) will be defined and evaluated in terms of objectives. Why are the copies being made? What uses will these copies support? Do considerations vary from one category to another? The objectives are presented here as use cases.
Current Draft
Document Background
The Working Group believes that its guidelines should be based on clearly articulated objectives describing the expected uses of the digitized content. This presentation was drafted by the Categories and Objectives Sub-Group. Each of the 23 content subcategories is associated with reformatting objectives, i.e., the objectives of the organizations that carry out the digitizing and, equally important, the objectives of the endusers who will consult or use the images in their work.
