User keywords, or 'tags', are words added to object records by other users to enhance their discovery. You can add keywords that may be useful in helping others find this object.

We are experimenting with tagging because sometimes museums describe objects in language that is highly specialist and user added keywords are useful in bridging the 'semantic gap' between the language of the museum and that of the user.

Any keywords listed have been added by other users like yourself. You can click on them to use them as search terms to dicover other objects. User tags
Related subjects lists the broad themes that have relevance to the object you are viewing. You can click these themes to see other objects related thematically. Related Subjects

'Autogenerated tags' are a new feature that we are testing. These tags are generated by passing the object record through the OpenCalais service from Reuters. This service makes a 'best guess' at the names, places, companies and specialist terminolgy that is in the text of the object records.

By clicking on a tag you can find all other collection records related to that person, place or company.

Because the tags are autogenerated there are likely to be some errors. If you spot one of these then please flag the tag for deletion by clicking the 'x'. Auto-generated tags: [Beta]

The Significance Statement summarises why an object is important and places it in a social and cultural context. An object may be significant for various reasons, including: historical use, rarity, design/aesthetics, new technology or changes in society. Statement of significance
This CD ROM features the first fifty issues of Japanese street fashion photographer Shoichi Aoki's influential monthly magazine FRUiTS, the first issue of which was published in June 1997. Shoichi Aoki (b 1955) started the magazine to 'report on the cutting edge of youth fashion' in Japan and named it FRUiTS to reflect the colour and freshness of dress at that time. His portrait photographs document a revolutionary Japanese fashion movement that emerged on the streets of Harajuku, Tokyo in the mid 1990s. Unlike most fashion movements it was led not by designers but by young people, wearing an extreme mix of traditional Japanese dress, handmade and secondhand clothing, and designer fashion. Shoichi Aoki believes that fashion is an important form of communication; he is interested in the ways people express themselves through dress, rather than the individual garments they wear.
