    Abstract
    Discusses the possibilities and difficulties encountered when using a thematic index to search contemporary art databanks. Jaconde and Videomuseum, 2 French databanks, are used as examples. the core problems found in the study are the methods and limits of indexing in both systems. A thematic index should be developed that is better adapted to 20th century art, based on the complementary and reciprocal relationship between text and image, and which fully exploits hypertext

    Abstract
    Strategies for sharing, managing and accessing cultural heritage information centred around objects, images and related data are being tested currently through a variety of initiatives and resources. These fall into 3 categories: data sharing projects; image data banks; and rights management. Describes 2 data sharing projects, the Research Libraries Group' REACH and VISIION projects, focusing on core categories, standards and interoperability, metadata, and what might be accomplished through REACH and VISIION

    Abstract
    SHIC liefert eine breite interdisziplinäre Struktur für die Einteilung von Objekten, Photographien, Archivmaterial Tonbandaufnahmen. lnformationsdateien und aller weiterer Formen musealen Materials auf dem Gebiet der menschlichen Geschichte. Sie kann abstrakte Begriffe sowie Materialien von sehr allgemeiner Natur zusätzlich zu genauer definierten Stücken bewältigen. Die Klassifikation hat eine hierarchische Struktur mit Stufen, die vom Allgemeinen bis zum Spezifischen gehen. In der Regel sind die höheren Stufen begrifflich, während die niedrigeren Stufen direkter auf dem Gebiet begründet sind. Objekte Lind Ideen werden entsprechend der Aktivitätssphäre angeordnet, mit der sie Primär verbunden sind. Das Ziel der Klassifikation ist es. Objekte etc. auf ihre Funktion im Kontext rnit anderen Objekten zu beziehen. Der Hammer eines Zimmermannes könnte mit allen weiteren Schlagwerkzeugen, ohne Rücksicht auf die Gewerke and Industriezweige, in denen sie benutzt wurden, klassifiziert werden, aber dies ist nicht das Ziel von SHIC. 2. Der Aufbau von SHIC Es gibt vier primäre Rubriken (Abschnitte), die alle Aktivitäten des Menschen als eines gesellschaftlichen Wesens umfassen: Abschnitt 1: Gesellschaftliches Leben Abschnitt 2: Häusliches und Familiäres Leben Abschnitt 3: Persönliches Leben Abschnitt 4: Arbeitsleben Diese vier Abschnitte werden als von gleicher Bedeutsamkeit betrachtet, aller schließen sich nicht immer wechselseitig ans. Es müssen gelegentlich eigenmächtige Entscheidungen angewendet werden, um die Zuordnung des Materials zu bestimmen. Der Rest der Klassifikation ist als eine Hierarchie mit einer Dezimalstruktur angeordnet, die die Anwendung einer Zahlenkodierung erleichtert. Die nächsten vier Sturen unter den Abschnitten sind in absteigender Ordnung als Abteilung, Klasse Gruppe und Untergruppe bekannt. Jede Rubrik innerhalb dieser Stufen kann in zehn Untergruppen zwischen 0 und 9 unterteilt werden. Von diesen Untergruppen ist die erste (0) immer für allgemeines oder Material unbekannter Herkunft reserviert. und die letzte (9) wird gewöhnlich benutzt, um unbedeutende vermischte Kategorien zusammenzufassen, die nicht anderweitig in die anderen Rubriken eingefügt werden können. Sie können dann, wenn nötig, auf der nächst unteren Stufe getrennt werden.

    Abstract
    Hypermedia offers a new paradigm for the design of information systems, yet there are few working applications. The best situation is for a database to hold information and a hypermedia package to provide the interface. Explains why museum information systems are ideal for investigating the augmentation of traditional databases with hypermedia. 2 leading examples in the UK are the Micro Gallery at the National Gallery and the Design Museum public catalogue. Describes a prototype development of an interface for the visiting public to allow access to the museum database. Object records from Leicestershire Museums local collection and the George III collection of early scientific instruments from the Science Museum, London, were used. Object records were stored on an IBM PC in dBase databases. The hypermedia front-end was built using Hypercard on a Macintosh LC computer. Covers system design and evaluation

    Abstract
    It may be jumping the gun a bit to review this publication before it is actually published, but we are nothing if not current here at Current Cites, so we will do it anyway (so sue us!). This publication-in-process is a joint effort of the Visual Resources Association and the Digital Library Federation. It aims to "provide guidelines for selecting, ordering, and formatting data used to populate catalog records" relating to cultural works. Although this work is far from finished (Chapters 1, 2, 7, and 9 are available, as well as front and back matter), the authors are making it available so pratictioners can use it and respond with information about how it can be improved to better aid their work. A stated goal is to publish it in print at some point in the future. Besides garnering support from the organizations named above as well as the Getty, the Mellon Foundation and others, the effort is being guided by experienced professionals at the top of their field. Get the point? If you're involved with creating metadata relating to any type of cultural object and/or images of such, this will need to be either on your bookshelf, or bookmarked in your browser, or both
