Tse-Tsung Chow Collection of Chinese Scrolls and Fan Paintings

"Tse-Tsung Chow Collection of Chinese Scrolls and Fan Paintings" is the second session in the CALA Speaker Series: Describing Chinese Rare Books and Cultural Heritage Collections. It provides a brief introduction to the background of the collection and how it was made into a digital collection. The focus of the talk is on how the bilingual metadata was created for cultural heritage materials. The speaker's team also described this project in the article, “Multilingual metadata for cultural heritage materials: The case of the Tse-Tsung Chow Collection of Chinese Scrolls and Fan Paintings”, which examines current approaches to multilingual indexing and retrieval in digital collections and presents a model of creating bilingual parallel records that combines translation with controlled vocabulary mapping. This talk was delivered by Ling Meng, Digital Collections Librarian at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries. The session recording has been uploaded to CALA YouTube Channel (https://youtu.be/3jagdQHR7Ns).
