What would you like to name your Thalia domain?

     You may choose the name or initials you would like your domain name to begin with. Some examples are: "demo.thalia.mit.edu", "psb.thalia.mit.edu".
     Please choose the prefix for your domain name.    

Metadata  

Metadata is extra information about an item, such as title, contributor, etc .  Metadata tells more about the image, as well as makes it easier to search for.  Thalia is preconfigured with some metadata markup, and allows you to add others.

There are some standardized sets of metadata. Librarians have devised Dublin Core
•    Default Dublin Core metadata fields are:
o    Title
o    Description
o    Contributor
o    Coverage
o    Creator
o    Date
o    Format
o    Identifier
o    Language
o    Publisher
o    Relation
o    Rights
o    Source
o    Subject
o    Type

Please follow this link to read descriptions of each Dublin Core metadata field.

You can configure these by ....    [ Manage Domain  > Manage Metadata , link to help or quickstart ] 

Would you like to hide any of these fields from a guest user?

What would you like the hover tip to show (can be any data field)?
•    Default field for hover tip is "title"

You may wish to add your own custom set.  Academic disciplines have some standardized ones to describe their field of knowledge;  picking from a menu makes them more consistent.
