China Education News (Correspondent Feng Kaimin, Reporter Lin Huanxin) Recently, the "Technical Regulations for Metadata of Blue Calico Pattern Digital Resource Library" led by Nantong Vocational College of Science and Technology was officially released on the national group standard information platform. This is the first group standard for blue calico digital pattern cultural resources in China.
Since 2014, the scientific research team of Nantong Vocational College of Science and Technology has sampled the blue calico pattern of the national intangible cultural heritage project, and has conducted research on the classification, identification, and morphological characteristics of the blue calico pattern for many years. By comparing the expressions and cultural connotations of different patterns, as well as different angles and compositions, the team finally formed a digital resource knowledge system for blue calico digital patterns.
The Technical Regulations for Metadata of the Blue Calico Pattern Digital Resource Library stipulate the management requirements of the terms and definitions of the pattern metadata, the element table specification, and the element description specification when the blue calico pattern digital resource library is constructed. On the basis of fully studying the experience of relevant standards at home and abroad, the regulations analyze and study the characteristic content of blue calico patterns, and put forward a preliminary metadata scheme for the digital resource content of blue calico patterns with reference to the national metadata compilation standards. At the same time, combined with the refinement of the needs of target users, the metadata standard specification suitable for the digital resource library of blue calico patterns was formulated, and the construction of the data resource library was guided according to the obtained metadata scheme.
Yu Xiang, head of the scientific research team of Nantong Vocational College of Science and Technology, said that the formulation of the regulations has realized the standardization and standardization of the construction of the blue calico digital pattern resource library, which not only contributes to the inheritance and development of Nantong blue calico digital pattern culture, but also provides a platform for learning and reference for the majority of experts and scholars, art designers and Jiangnan culture lovers. More importantly, it provides a theoretical and practical reference for the classification, standardization, digital protection and application construction of many precious intangible cultural heritages in China.
