Term: Digital image conformance evaluation

Definition:

Repeatable and reliable methods of validating the consistency and accuracy of imaging goodness as defined in the Technical Guidelines for Digitizing Cultural Heritage Materials for the various types of materials covered in the Guidelines.

Note: Previous versions of the Guidelines referred to this as the definition for the acronym DICE, which was a term used when these Guidelines were intended only for the Library of Congress and other U.S. federal agency members of FADGI. These Guidelines have since evolved from a federal government document to a community-focused document, and this acronym is no longer appropriate.

OpenDICE is the name of a free software application developed through funding by the Library of Congress to support image conformance evaluation.
