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]

Object statement
Poster, 'Volleyball', paper, designed by Ing Design, designed by Ing Design, creative direction by David Terrazas and design by Chris Searle of Ing Design, illustration by Janet Jones, for Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG), Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 2000
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 poster is one of a suite of eight sport posters produced for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. They were commissioned by the Sydney Organising Committee for Olympic Games. The series formed a vital part of the designed 'look' of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and with the tickets for the Games (also designed by Ing Design), they reaffirm the 'bluewater' theme (in contrast to the proposed 'green games' theme) that became central to the 'look' of the Sydney 2000 Games. The posters in this series were originally presented to SOCOG in an earth/ochre colour who recommended the earth tones be replaced with a deep blue in keeping with the blue theme of the Games. On the reverse of each sports poster is printed a list of acknowledgments to the individuals and firms who generously sponsored the production of the sports poster series.
