International Promotion
In order to showcase the cultural heritage and
natural resources of Taiwan to the world as well
as to complement the existing Chinese portal
(http//digitalarchives.tw/) , we have created a
new Digital Taiwan Culture Nature English
portal (http//culture.teldap.tw/).

Challenges
  • What information would international users be
    interested in?
  • How should we present these digital collections?

31
32
Difficult Position TELDAP is Placed in
  • TELDAP Union Catalog
  • Containing more than 2 million records
  • Item level metadata only
  • For users
  • Most of the international users are not familiar
    with the digitized contents in Taiwan, it would
    be hard for them to access the information
    through item level metadata.

32
33
Solution
  • Establish Collection Level Description
  • Collection descriptions are a way of providing
    roadmaps to enable users to navigate the
    landscape more effectively.

34
What is Collection Level Description?
  • Collection-Level Description (CLD) A description
    of a collection
  • A CLD is a structured, open, standardised form of
    metadata providing a high-level description of an
    aggregation of individual items.

35
Functions of CLD
  • Enable collection provider to
  • Disclose information about the existence and
    availability of digital contents
  • Evaluate collection development efforts
  • Control holdings more effectively
  • Share collection information with other archival
    institutions
  • Unearth fields where collaborative management is
    possible
  • Enable user to
  • Discover cross-domain resources
  • Navigate through copious heterogeneous and
    distributed resources
  • Understand the general information of collection
    promptly
  • Select collections based on summary descriptions
  • Access the collection described through a portal

36
Establish TELDAP Collection Level Description
  • Step 1 Survey CLD related projects and standards

  • Interview resource users
  • Interview resource managers
  • Step 3Inventory TELDAP resources
  • Inventory TELDAP outputs and resources
  • Step 4Identify and select collections to be
    described

    following 30 elements
