VIRGO to IRIS Metadata Mapping
|
Metadata Home > Metadata Mappings > VIRGO to IRIS Metadata Mapping VIRGO is the University of Virginia Library's integrated library system. VIRGO is a Sirsi Unicorn database with records encoded in MARC format. For many years, Fine Arts slides were cataloged using MARC in VIRGO and we are now moving them to the IRIS database. Information on MARC is available at: http://www.loc.gov/marc/ IRIS is a relational database developed in FileMakerPro used for cataloging cultural heritage objects and their images. IRIS was built by five institutions: Brown University, Roger Williams University, Wesleyan University, Trinity College, and Smith College and is currently licensed by 15 institutions across the United States. UVa uses IRIS as its back-end collection management system for objects and images using the VRA Core and the Guidelines for Cataloging Cultural Objects.
