Why Metadata Matters?
/
Instructions: Step 1 of 1
In this activity, you will use Tropy to organize and describe the 5 photos you took of your kitchen. Then you will write for your online portfolio a reflection on why it is valuable to keep track of the metadata that is in the generic template in Tropy, and suggest what other fields you might want to keep track of as well. Your post should include:
- A screenshot of each photo within Tropy (all the metadata visible in your screenshot)
- A reflection on why this kind of organization model is valuable
- A list of other metadata fields that might be useful for cataloging this kind of source
- If you're ambitious, a screenshot of a custom template you made that includes those fields
