Padrões de metadados para instrumentos de pesquisa: a integração em benefício do usuário tendo por base o acervo da Fábrica Rheingantz

Abstract

This work aims, in general terms, to analyze the possibility of integration of metadata standards in the development of finding aids for photographic archives, favoring the user in the recover of the wanted images. In specific terms, it intends to present the photographic archives in the context of documentary heritage, including its characteristics as well as the knowledge area that act in its treatment in order to facilitate its access and the utilization by the users; to analyze procedures, methods and standards of Archives Administration, Librarianship and Museum studies, susceptible to be used in the preparation of instruments that allow the recovery/location of photographs, to study the provisions and applications of Semantic Web and Web 2.0 in order to use them as instruments to disseminate archival descriptions and, developing descriptions from the integration of metadata standards between those areas. To this end, there were used the methods of literature review and case study. There are presented, in this sense, the finding aids developed in the Historical Documentation Center Professor Hugo Alberto Alves Pereira, Federal University of Rio Grande, from the integration of metadata standards used by the archive and library science, as well as codified in EAD (Encoded Archival Description).
