>> I have a question for this esteemed group. As an art historian/medievalist and visual resource librarian, I am very interested in how institutions are addressing and including metadata for images in rare books and manuscripts which are being digitized. With the continual growth of digital projects it an important area. It is fantastic to have these wonderful collections digitized but a real frustration when image data cannot be located. I am wondering how this group is addressing this issue in their institutions? If you are addressing it, what schema for the image metadata you are using? Ideally, we would all want to be heading toward consistency and inter-collaborative schema for the sustainability of these projects in the future.

>> HI,

>> I am currently migrating projects to a new server and have encountered difficulties with the Thomas L. Gravell Watermarks Archive database. As is summarized below, we have moved everything, confirmed that we can update a MySQL database on the new server using FMP and the ODBC driver, but the Gravell database itself is not communicating, despite updating scripts, etc. Has anyone on the list had recent experience with these issues? One problem is that it has been awhile since we have had to deal with a migration and there are some rusty chops! Thanks in advance for any insights. Here's the summary from my tech person:
>>
>> - Moved the MySQL database to the new server. Verified that the database user has all privileges to manage the database.

>> - Installed the Actual Technologies ODBC Driver, created a new DSN for the MySQL database, and verified that we can connect to the MySQL database using ODBC.
>>
>> - Updated the FileMaker Pro scripts to use the new DSN we created.
