Yes, the two resource types you should be using are still image, and moving image. They are singular, do not include any punctuation, and use lower case. Case is not an issue in search and retrieval (maybe in display), but any kind of punctuation is asking for trouble, leading to many variations:
- image (still)
- image - still
- image:still
- image : still
- image/still
- still images
- images (still)
- images - still
- images:still
- images : still
The Vocabulary definitions for the two types are:
still image – A static visual representation.
Source of term: DCMI, ADS
Source of definition: DCMI
Note: Examples include photographs, paintings. drawings etc. Assign the type text to images of textual materials.
moving image - A series of visual representations imparting an impression of motion when shown in succession.
Source of term: DCMI
Source of definition: DCMI
Note: Examples include animations, movies, television programs, videos, zoetropes, or visual output from a simulation.
These two types do cover most images, with the exception that if it is an image of a map then you should use cartographic material. If it is an image of a musical score then you should use musical score.
The question about text is answered in the note for still image. If it is a scanned image of text, then use text. If it is an image included as part of an object with text and images, it will depend on the predominating type and whether you are treating it as one compound object. The notes on multimedia might help here:
multimedia - a complex resource expressed through multiple forms eg text, audio, and/or visual form.
Note: If a single media type predominates or is a substantial part of the resource use the single media type eg text, sound, moving or still image. If more than one type applies use multimedia.
