Special User’s Group 4: Iris User’s Group

IRIS 2005, a new version developed from scratch in FileMaker 7.0, was released in summer 2005. A 2006 update will continue the implementation of user requests, as well as further work to carry out the recommendations of CCO and to comply with the VRA Core Categories v.4. The User Group meeting will provide an opportunity for questions about the current version and suggestions for the next, as well as a tour of the new IRIS web site.
The Image Resource Information System (IRIS), an implementation of the VRA Core Categories in FileMaker Pro software, began as a cooperative venture of seven institutions in 1997. Our work reflects the desire to be compliant with evolving VR standards in order to facilitate data sharing within the IRIS community and beyond.

All are welcome to attend! You do not need to be an IRIS user to learn from or contribute to this discussion.

Moderator: Norine Duncan, Brown University

User’s Group 5: VireoCat User's Group

VireoCat (Visual Resources Open Cataloging Utility) is the free FMP7-based database developed by Susan Jane Williams and first distributed at last year's conference in Miami. VireoCat is VRA Core 4.0 and CCO compliant and uses the 4.0 XML schema within Filemaker Pro. A user group has formed, and there is a list serv, VireoCat-L, administered by Mark Olson. Williams will present a quick overview and then the group will discuss any problems, features desired, and data sharing possibilities, both inside and outside the group. Anyone is welcome to attend the meeting, and the database may be freely downloaded and shared. (Users must have FMP7 installed on their computers.)

Moderator: Susan Jane Williams, Scholars Resource
