Title |
Title |
|
A brief descriptive phrase. The title is a concise phrase that will appear as the label of the thumbnails. Title may be the title provided by the contributor. Note: A good approach would be to use the name of the object plus the site name plus either a generic name or the geographic orientation of the smaller portion. Examples: TITLE:Pyxis of al-Mughira TITLE:Suleymanname TITLE: Ottoman court rug |
Category (Pull-down menu) |
Subject |
|
Category of art specified in Walter B. Denny’s accompanyinghandlist, i.e. Architecture/Spain; Ivory Carving; Metalwork Do not include Islamic as part of the category—everything in the database is Islamic. The database will be used for teaching Islamic art and the students are unlikely to type Islamic in every time. |

Use for objects when the object has a distinctive name, i.e. Alhambra, but not Beaker “Hedwis glass” which is only descriptive of the shape and material of the item. When an official name exists, use the official name of the object. Examples: Alhambra (Granada, Spain); Jami‘ Ibn Tulun (Cairo, Egypt) |
MS title and Folio number |

Use the uniform title found in LCAF, if one exists. If not, use the title found in the DennyHandlist. When the DennyHandlist provides a Folio number, add it at the end of the title. Example: Chester Beatty Library, 413. Folio 5v |

Examples: Arrayones Court (part of the Alhambra); Leones Court (part of the Alhambra); General interior (part of theAhmet I Mosque in Istanbul) Some folios are famous enough to have a commonly used name. Use the folio title found in the DennyHandlist Example: BahramGur and the Dragon |

Built environment: the physical or purposive form of the object (Note: this will generally be a building type.) Examples: Fountains; Tents.

Example: Woodworkers Additional concepts that are not represented by other data elements but are deemed sufficiently significant to require access points. Examples: Divinities in art; Solar art. Use multiple headings as necessary to describe an object. Will use both AAT and LC Subject headings, since they were supplied with the project. |
