Style Guide for Data Entry

There are a few things that you will want to consider with regards to style/consistency for uploading data:

• How should you capitalize titles of artworks, names of organizations, locations, and personal names? What about the pages associated with a project?

• Should terms be capitalized or all lowercase?

• Where will you draw the term descriptions from (i.e. how would you describe and ARC as opposed to a gallery)?

• How granular do you want your categories to be - i.e. do you want to distinguish between a walk-through video as opposed to a reproduction of a video artwork? If so, where would that distinction take place - in “artwork categories” or “media file categories”?

Recommendations

1. Title case for the names of Projects (“The Photo-Essay is Dead, Long Live the Photo-Essay!”)

2. Initial caps for project pages (“Workshop registration instructions”)
