Abstract

There has not been a well-accepted metadata schema for murals as an important type of cultural heritage. This paper reports an ongoing study and preliminary results on evaluating a draft metadata schema of murals from the end-user perspective. Based on the results of an earlier interview-based evaluation, a questionnaire was designed and 185 effective responses were collected from potential users. “Work type”, “Title”, and “Creation date” were identified as the most important metadata elements, and the most useful elements for supporting the searching, browsing, and organizing information about murals. In summary, findings of this study contribute to polishing the design of the metadata schema for murals.
