6. Measurements 🔺

DEFINITION

Information about the dimensions or scale of the work, presented in a syntax suitable for display to the end-user and including any necessary indications of uncertainty, ambiguity, and nuance. It may include the scale of the work. It may also include the number of the parts of a complex work, series, or collection.

  • 152 items; various dimensions

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Required: Record a prose description of the dimensions, or construct a display by concatenating information from controlled fields. Include information about the dimensions, size, or scale of the work, presented in a syntax suitable for display to the end-user and including any necessary indications of uncertainty, ambiguity, and nuance. As appropriate, include the scale of the work or the number of the parts of a complex work, series, or collection.

Form and syntax

Include measurements in both metric units and US Customary Units (e.g., inches, feet), if possible. Record dimensions height by width by depth (e.g., 198 x 233 x 82 cm (78 x 91 3/4 x 32 1/4 inches)), if appropriate. The orientation is thus implied in the description of the dimensions; for example, dimensions of a painting of vertical orientation [Figure 8] is implied in 92 x 72 cm (36 1/2 x 28 3/8 inches). Use standard codes for metric units (e.g., cm for centimeters). Spell out inches and feet. Consult the “Examples” section above for syntax.

In addition to the values and units of measurements, include explanatory text as necessary to clarify what the dimensions mean. For example, to express the dimensions of a Greek vase [Figure 9] the diameter of various parts may be indicated (e.g., 48.3 cm (height) x 28.1 cm (diameter of mouth), 27.2 cm (diameter of body)). The information contained in this description should be indexed in other subcategories, the set of subcategories of Shape (6.9). Historical units of measurement, such as braccia, may be included in the description; however they should be translated into modern equivalents for indexing.

Measurements for various types of work

The characteristics of various works may require different kinds of dimensions. For example, when measuring a coin, weight is as important as diameter. For a painting, however, height and width are often sufficient. For a video or film, running time or length is the most important measurement. ¹ Structural dimensions, such as warp and weft, textile or wallpaper pattern repeats, the spacing of chain lines on a piece of paper, or the weight of a piece of sculpture, are also important.

Approximate indications of size should be accommodated. “Sight” measurements (estimated measurements judged by eye) may be taken in situations in which a work cannot be accurately measured, such as a framed pastel or a ceiling fresco. When a set of dimensions is approximate or needs to be qualified in other ways, this should be indexed in Dimension Qualifier (6.7).

It is important to note the overall dimensions; however, a work may have several other relevant sets of dimensions that are also important to record. When measuring a manuscript, for example, the dimensions of the volume, the page, and the text block could be indicated, and the number of lines on the page could be counted. The dimensions of each could be indicated in separate occurrences of the set of “Dimensions” within the Measurements (6) category. Appropriate values entered into the Dimensions Extent (6.5), Dimensions Type (6.2), and Dimensions Unit (6.4) subcategories identify the kind of dimension given.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Free text : This is not a controlled field. Use consistent format and syntax when possible. It is recommended to index the display measurements by using the subcategories below. The dimensions, size, shape, scale, format, or storage configuration of the work, including volume, weight, area, or running time should be indexed in the subcategories below, if possible. If multiple parts of the work are measured, repeat the set of subcategories below.

RELATED CATEGORIES and ACCESS

Researchers may want to find objects of similar sizes to reconstruct disassembled objects, for example, a sketchbook or an altarpiece.

DEFINITION

The kind of dimension taken of a particular area or part of an object or work.

EXAMPLES

• height
• width
• depth
• length
• circumference
• diameter
• volume
• weight
• area
• running time
• base
• target
• count

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Indexing the measurements is highly recommended, but optional. If you are indexing the measurements, include a Dimensions Type (6.2) value. Use lower case.

To indicate scale, use Dimensions Type (6.2) base and target as necessary. For example: Scale: numeric Value: .75 Unit: inch Type: base | Value: 1 Unit: foot Type: target.

Knowing what was measured is critical to understanding the dimensions of an object. Recording the Dimensions Type (6.2) identifies the orientation or nature of the measurement being recorded.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Control values with a list of terminology including the terms in the “Examples” section above and others as necessary. Where pertinent, use terms found in the AAT (especially Attributes and Properties hierarchy and the Activities facet).

DEFINITION

The numerical value of a particular dimension taken of a work.

EXAMPLES

• 60
• 238
• 91.6
• 17.25

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record the numerical value for dimensions. Indexing the measurements is highly recommended, but optional. If you are indexing the measurements, include the Dimensions Value (6.3).

Separating the actual dimension from its qualifiers allows mathematical processing on numerical values. This value may be an exact number or an approximation. Dimensions may be measured to varying levels of accuracy.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled format: Whole numbers or decimal fractions only. It is recommended to use numbers that refer metric units in this controlled field, however, local practice may vary.

DEFINITION

The unit of measurement used.

EXAMPLES

• centimeters
• millimeters
• meters
• liters
• kilograms
• cubic centimeters
• minutes
• carats
• pixels
• stories
• inches
• square feet
• feet

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Enter a term describing the unit of measurement. Use lower case.

Indexing the measurements is highly recommended, but optional. If you are indexing the measurements, include the unit of measurement. In order for a numerical measurement to have meaning and to allow manual or automated calculations, the unit of measurement must be specified.

To allow objects to be retrieved efficiently, historical measurements should be indexed according to modern equivalents.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Use a controlled list of terminology, including the values in the “Examples” section above. Metric units may be abbreviated using standard abbreviations. It is recommended to use metric units in this controlled field, however, local practice may vary.

DEFINITION

An explanation of the part of the work being measured, included for clarity when necessary.

EXAMPLES

• image
• overall
• diameter
• platemark
• sheet
• secondary support
• mat
• mount
• frame
• pattern
• repeat
• lid
• footprint
• components
• stories
• tessera [i.e., per unit or number per square feet]

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a term or terms indicating the part of the work being measured. Use lower case.

Measurements are assumed to be overall unless otherwise indicated. When it is necessary for clarity or to distinguish two sets of measurements, include the Dimensions Extent (6.5). For example, when dimensions are taken for different parts of a work, such as the body and the base of a sculpture, use Dimensions Extent (6.5) to index the part referred to by each dimension. Overall or outside dimensions, including any secondary support, such as a mount, frame, border, or pedestal, must be differentiated from exact dimensions of the object’s primary support or image (e.g., the area covered by the medium without the support).

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Authority or controlled list: Control this subcategory with the Generic Concept Authority (30), which can be populated with terminology from the controlled vocabularies named below.

Use the following controlled vocabularies: AAT (especially Objects facet), ACRL/RBMS Binding Terms, ACRL/RBMS Genre Terms, ACRL/RBMS Paper Terms, ACRL/RBMS Printing and Publishing Evidence, Base Mérimée: Lexique, the British Archaeological Thesaurus, Glass’ Subject Index for the Visual Arts, ICOM Costume Terms, Index of Jewish Art, ISO 5127-3: Iconic Documents, ISO 5127-11: Audio-visual Documents, LC Descriptive Terms for Graphic Materials, Moving Image Materials, Revised Nomenclature, Reyniès’ Le Mobilier Domestique, and Tozzer Library Headings.

DEFINITION

A term describing the scale, which is an expression of the ratio between the size of the representation of something and that thing itself (e.g., the size of the drawn structure as compared to the actual built work). Used for studies, recorded drawings, models, and other representations drawn or constructed to scale.

EXAMPLES

• numeric
• full-size [Figure 18]
• life-size
• monumental

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record the type of scale used, if any.

Form and syntax

Use lower case for the term.

For numeric scales, combine this term with Dimensions Type (6.2), Dimensions Value (6.3), and Dimensions Unit (6.4). Combine the Scale Type (6.6) with type “base” for the left side of the equation and “target” for the right side of the equation. For example, for 3/4 inch = 1 foot: Scale Type (6.6): numeric; Dimension Value (6.3): .75; Dimensions Unit (6.4): inch; Dimensions Type (6.2): base | Dimensions Value (6.3): 1; Dimensions Unit (6.4): foot; Dimensions Type (6.2) target. Describe the scale in Dimensions Description (6.1) (e.g., 1:10; 1/4 inch. = 1foot; 1-to-1).

If necessary, transcribe the scale in Inscriptions/Marks (8). For example, scale upper left: ONE-HALF SCALE; bar scale lower center: 10 feet (10 ft. = 2 in.); scale lower right:Trenta Palmi Romani (30 palmi romani = 114 mm).

Scale Type (6.6) is used to indicate the relationship between the size of a representation and that of the work it depicts, or the size of one work to another. Scale Type (6.6) is often expressed as a numeric ratio of the scale of the object to the scale of the represented work. It may be characterized by a phrase (e.g., full size_) or by words (e.g. monumental or colossal).

Indicate when a scale has been derived by comparison or by conversion. A scale may be inscribed on the object, as with maps or pattern drawings, where it may be indicated as a numerical ratio (e.g., 1 inch = 1 foot) or as a bar with ruled divisions labeled with units. It is also possible to determine the scale of an image or model by comparing its dimensions to the dimensions of the work depicted. For example, if a model depicts a clock of the same size, then the scale is 1-to-1, or full size [Figure 18].

For some artists, such as Claes Oldenburg whose works are often seemingly oversize (e.g., Giant Three-way Plug, Scale A, 1/3), scale also carries a particular meaning, forming part of the aesthetics of the work. A sense of the scale of a work makes it possible to assess its visual impact. When considering studies, maquettes, maps, or models, the comparative size of the object and the work depicted are important clues to the level of detail in the image.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Use consistent terminology as in the “Examples” section above and others as necessary. Terms may be derived from the Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) Hierarchy Display.

DEFINITION

A word or phrase that elaborates on the nature of the measurements of the work when necessary, as when the measurements are approximate.

EXAMPLES

• sight
• maximum
• largest
• approximate
• assembled
• variable
• before restoration
• corners rounded
• framed
• with base

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Include a term indicating how the dimensions of a work were taken, when appropriate. Use lower case.

Including this information allows the researcher to evaluate the accuracy of the measurements.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Use a controlled list of terminology, including the values in the “Examples” section above, as well as values found in other sources, such as the Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAR) Hierarchy Display.

This subcategory may be linked to an authority, such as Generic Concept Authority (30), which can be populated with terminology from the controlled vocabularies named above.

DEFINITION

A description of the date or range of dates when the measurement was determined, or a range of dates when a historical measurement was known to be valid.

EXAMPLES

• 12 December 1991
• May 1970
• 1993
• before 1652
• 1842-1896
• 17th century

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record the date when measurements were taken or the dates when they were valid. Include references to uncertainty or ambiguity as necessary.

Form and syntax

Follow the applicable rules for display dates found in the Creation Date (4.2) subcategory.

The date is useful in establishing the size of a work at a particular time and sets a benchmark for future comparison. Historical measurements are of value to the researcher, as the size of a work may have changed over time. For example, a piece of paper or canvas may have been trimmed to a smaller size, or a story may have been added to a structure, increasing its height.

Dates may be estimated or approximate. For example, it may only be known that a work was a certain size in the 18th century, but not precisely on which day or year the measurement was taken. For further discussion of dates in general, see Creation Date (4.2).

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Free-text: This is not a controlled field. Maintain consistent capitalization, punctuation, and syntax where possible. Index the dates in the controlled Earliest Date (6.8.1) and Latest Date (6.8.2) subcategories.

DEFINITION

The earliest date for which the dimensions are known to be valid.

EXAMPLES

• 1970
• 1842
• 01-21-2001

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record the earliest year indicated by the display Dimensions Date (6.8).

Form and syntax

Always record years in the proleptic Gregorian calendar in the indexing dates fields. It is optional to record Earliest Date (6.8.1); however, if you record a value here, you must also record Latest Date (6.8.2). For rules, see Earliest Date (4.2.1).

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled format: Date information must be formatted consistently to allow retrieval. Local rules should be in place. Suggested formats are available in the ISO Standard and W3 XML Schema Part 2.

  XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, 2001

DEFINITION

The outline, form, or characteristic configuration of a work or part of a work, including its contours; used for unusual shapes.

EXAMPLES

• square
• rectangular
• round
• oval
• triangular
• cylindrical
• hexagonal
• irregular
• sphere
• cruciform
• camel
• lotus

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a term describing the shape of the work if it is an unusual or distinguishing characteristic (e.g., if a panel painting is oval rather than rectangular). Use lower case.

Recording the shape of a work provides context for its measurements and physical appearance. Objects may change shape over time, as when a rectangular panel painting has been cut down to an oval shape. Various shapes may be associated with multiple occurrences of the indexing fields, as when a round drawing is mounted on a square secondary support. Each shape could have corresponding dimensions and dates.

Shape is important to some lines of inquiry. For example, a scholar may wish to examine the composition of round paintings of the Northern Baroque.

In some areas of study, such as Asian art, it is traditional to note shapes in the most specific sense, such as camel [shaped]. In such cases, index the term, such as camel, in Subject Matter (16) too.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Use a controlled list of terminology, including the values in the “Examples” section above and those found in other sources, such as the Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) Hierarchy Display.

DEFINITION

The configuration of a work, including technical formats, or the conventional designation for the dimensions or proportion of a work.

EXAMPLES

• Formats:

  • longline
  • 3-column grid
  • tabloid
  • stations format
  • carte-de-visite
  • cabinet photograph
  • vignette
  • VHS
  • Beta
  • IMAX
  • DOS

• Sizes:

  • quarto
  • elephant folio
  • half-plate
  • pint
  • British men’s medium
  • A4

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Include a designation of the format or conventional size designation if pertinent. Use lower case, except for proper names and special codes.

Designations of format and of size often overlap. This subcategory describes the configuration of the work. It may also refer to standard technical formats, particularly in photography, film, video, printing, and computing. Sizes are relative designations of magnitude. Works of the same “size” may vary in actual dimensions, but share a common set of proportions.

To record numeric sizes, use Dimensions Value (6.3) to record the number and indicate the controlled term size in Dimensions Type (6.2). Industry sizes are not always accurate or consistent, and vary within certain tolerances. Some sizes, such as those for standard containers or bottles, are strictly regulated. Others, such as clothing sizes, are inconsistent. Sizes often vary by nationality. A women’s size 12 in Great Britain differs from that in Canada or in the United States, and may be a size 40 in Europe. Sizes may also vary over time.

TERMINOLOGY/FORMAT

Controlled list: Use consistent terminology from a controlled list. Include the terms listed in the “Examples” section above and others derived from the Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) Hierarchy Display or the ACRL/RBMS Paper Terms and ACRL/RBMS Type Evidence.
