Resource Subtype
From KeyToNature
The field "Subtype" in the Resource Metadata Exchange Agreement is an optional further specification of Resource Type. It is currently mostly used to distinguish different kinds of images.
The values are under discussion, some recommended values may be:
- Line-drawing (a drawing essentially black and white; the image format may be between, gray-scale, or color image)
- Gray-scale-drawing (artistic drawing with shaded areas; for simple shading using lines or dots use Line-drawing)
- Color-drawing (e. g. water-color, oil painting)
- Gray-scale-photo (photographic image in “black-and-white”)
- Color-photo
