2. Classification and Metadata Creation for Stolen, Lost, and Repatriated Objects
Drew Facklam, Dana Kautto, Kristen Tivey, and Amelia Bathke
Ownership: Concepts and History
Laws, Treaties and Conventions:
1863 (Federal Law 100), 1907 (Hague Convention), 1970
(UNESCO Convention), 1990 (NAGPRA)
Examples: Elgin Marbles, Kennewick Man
Creating Digital Files for Repatriation
More museums and art museums rely on creating digital files
for their repatriation projects and there are several different
methods that museums use:
● Creating a digital file so the group of people can
recreate their own copy of an artifact
● Offering the people's access to a virtual tour of the
museum in which their artifacts are for education
● Taking 3D scans and creating a replica so the original
can be preserved or given back

Peoples’ Web Portal, Local Contexts.
Linked Open Data: Issues of Ownership
Art museums are increasingly using LOD to provide linked
access to their collections. What effects could this have for
issues of ownership?
● Collection metadata can be owned by all
● This shared ownership may be unwanted in cases of
unjustly owned/displayed art
● A wider audience can better scrutinize issues of art
documentation and ownership
● Linking between institutions introduces much-needed
conversations regarding complex relationships,
including questions of ownership
Figure 4. An example of LOD in art museums is American Art
Collaborative founded in 2015.
Ethically Organizing Knowledge
Things to keep in mind in order to responsibly name, catalog,
and classify disputed cultural objects:
● Language, assumptions, “best” practices: all up for
decolonization
● There is no one, true context—artifacts can have
layered histories and meanings
● Subject Headings and Vocabularies were set by biased
humans, often long ago
● Awareness & understanding are important,
collaboration and action are more impactful
An example of a collaborative archive by U.S. institutions &
indigenous peoples: Plateau Peoples’ Web Portal at http://
plateauportal.libraries.wsu.edu
Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO)
● Used by an overwhelming number of institutions while
creating internal standards
● Interoperable
● Huge variety in what kind of objects a record can
identify
● Consistently uses authority control

3. Dance Cataloguing and Notation
NYPL Dance Division: Library of Congress:
Reference:
Dance Notation:
• Early dance notation was show as with
the vertical line to symbolize the spine.
This sometimes ran alongside the music
to go along with the notes in the score.
• In 1928 Rudolf Von Laban published
Schrifttanz, a dance script, that has
become known as Labanotation (see
diagram below)
Emma Karin Eriksson, Rose Kernochan, Chelsea Fritz, and Kasey Breien

The Dictionary Catalog of
the Dance Collection:
• I n 1 9 6 4 , N Y P L w a s
designated its own division
called: Dance Division
• In 1965 librarians Dorothy
Lourdou & G. Oswald created
a cataloging system for their
collection.
• Created in 1974.
• Originally started with 8,000
subject headings.
• Eventually grew to 45,000
entries in their authority list.
And filled 10 volumes.
Dance And RDA:
• Rule 25.5B deals with dance
in two parts. The first
addressing qualifiers to a
heading. The second how to
address a uniform language.
• In November2014 RDA
committee decided to adopt
the idea that choreographed
work falls under authorship

FOLKSONOMY
Is the result of personal free tagging of
information and objects (anything with a URL)
for one's own retrieval. The tagging is done
in a social environment (shared and open to
others). The act of tagging is done by the
person consuming the information.
FOLKSONOMY
• NO HIERARCHY
• NO AUTHORITY

Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s
4 Main Principles
1: Name the resource (via URI)
2: Use HTTP URI’s to enable
discovery
3: Provide useful information using
standards (like RDF)
4: Include links to other URI’s so that
people can discover related things
Data should be universally identifiable, openly
available, and relational.
All LOD lives on the Semantic Web. It was originally
envisioned by Tim Berners-Lee, the same inventor as
the World Wide Web.
RDF triples are the common
standard used to create LOD.

“Everything that’s good about the web comes from

His 5-star system can determine
LOD’s effectiveness.

A hashtag can be a command, folksonomy, paralanguage, metadata, facet, advertisement,
and/or cultural phenomenon that is used professionally, socially, privately and/or publicly to
organize, inform, and communicate. They can be used in conjunction with images, tweets,
posts, websites, search engines and blogs, or on their own. They are created by users and can
be adopted and adapted by anyone.
