VRA Core Categories

The VRA Core Categories are a framework for describing visual resources, particularly in art, architecture, and cultural heritage. They classify essential attributes to help preserve and communicate visual information. The categories include: **Image** (what is depicted), **Identifier** (how to find it), **Creator** (who made it), **Date** (when it was created), **Physical Description** (its appearance), **Subject** (what it represents), and **Function** (its purpose). This structure aids in organizing and sharing visual materials effectively, making it easier for researchers and the public to access and understand collections.
