Abstract

The entry provides an overview of the data content standard, Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO), developed by the Visual Resources Association (VRA), and published in 2006 by the American Library Association (ALA). CCO fills a gap in the array of descriptive standards by providing guidelines for visual resources curators, museum documentation specialists, archivists, librarians, or anyone engaged in the documentation of works of art and architecture, objects of material culture, and their images. The entry begins by placing CCO within the context of object and visual image cataloging and the broader framework of data content standards. Following the organization of the guide, which is divided into three parts, General Guidelines, Elements, and Authorities, it summarizes the main features of CCO. Finally, it evaluates CCO in terms of its suitability for use by the metadata communities that form its intended audience, and its sustainability.

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

Die wissenschaftliche Erschließung der Sammlungsbestände stellt neben dem Sammeln, Bewahren und Ausstellen eine Kernkompetenz musealer Arbeit dar und ist daher auch Teil der gemeinsam festgelegten Richtlinien des Internationalen Museumsverbandes "Standards für Museen". Seit einigen Jahren wird entsprechend auch in diesem Bereich eine Diskussion zu Fachterminologien geführt, weil die Inventare für eine schnellere Erschließung auch EDV-gestützt erfasst werden. Hierbei wird es als allgemein wünschenswert erachtet, sich auf einheitliche Thesauri im deutschsprachigen Raum, vor allem in den Bereichen Objektbezeichnung, Material und Technik zu verständigen. Erste Ansätze sind sowohl in der Fachgruppe Dokumentation des Deutschen Museumsbundes in Berlin als auch von den Arbeitsgruppen des MusIs-Projektes beim Bibliotheksservice-Zentrum Baden-Württemberg (BSZ) in Konstanz gemacht worden. Basierend auf Erfahrungen bei der Konzeption und dem Aufbau von Thesauri in diesen Bereichen, die Eingang fanden in den Objektbezeichnungsthesaurus des BSZ sollen hier einige Aspekte und Überlegungen vorgestellt werden.

Abstract

Museum informatics is the study of the sociotechnical interactions that take place at the intersection of people, information, and technology in museums. This entry presents an overview of museum informatics, covering such topics as information representation, information organization and access, information management, information technology, information interactions, and information professionals in museums. It explores the impact of information science and technology on museums, museum professionals, and museum visitors, and argues that museum researchers must take a sociotechnical approach to studying the use of information resources and technologies in museums.

Abstract

Purpose - This research project aims to provide a new visual representation of the Artefacts Canada digital collection, as well as a means for users to browse this content. Artefacts Canada Humanities is a database containing approximately 3.5 million records describing the different collections of Canadian museums. Design/methodology/approach - A four-step methodology was adopted for the development of the faceted taxonomy model. First, a best practice review consisting of an extensive analysis of existing terminology standards in museum communities and public web interfaces of large cultural organizations was performed. The second step of the methodology entailed a domain analysis; this involved extracting and comparing relevant concepts from terminological authoritative sources. The third step proceeded to term clustering and entity listing,which involved the breaking-up of the taxonomy domains into potential facets. An incremental user testing was also realized in order to validate and refine the taxonomy components (facets, values, and relationships). Findings - The project resulted in a bilingual and expandable vocabulary structure that will further be used to describe the Artefacts Canada database records. The new taxonomy simplifies the representation of complex content by grouping objects into similar facets to classify all records of the Artefacts Canada database. The user-friendly bilingual taxonomy provides worldwide visitors with the means to better access Canadian virtual museum collections. Originality/value - Few methodological tools are available for museums which wish to adopt a faceted approach in the development of their web sites. For practitioners, the methodology developed within this project is a direct contribution to support web site development of large cultural organizations.

Abstract

The harmonization and extension of a taxonomy of works from the documentary to the artefactual domain represents an attempt to further knowledge sharing across cultural boundaries. The uses and users of works, both documentary and artefactual, are global-the need for this advance in the organization of knowledge is therefore also global. Works are the formal records of knowledge, the essential records of human accomplishment. Works are a global phenomenon despite potential cultural variations in their creation and instantiation, and the need to organize works for retrieval is likewise a global phenomenon. Artefacts (sculptures, paintings, realia, documents, books, scores, recordings, etc.) are the physical media collected by repositories of culture (libraries, archives, museums, etc.), and are the means by which works are communicated. Works mutate and derive across time and culture in response to their entrance into a canon of cultural meaning. In the present paper, we review the characteristics of documentary works. Then we extend the metaphor from the documentary environment to the artefactual environment. To carry the metaphor from the documentary domain to the artefactual domain we alter the terms of the definition slightly, thus: 1) instantiation is understood as content genealogy. an epistemological architecture of content-genealogy is presented, demonstrating the potential for mutation and derivation of the representations of artefacts. Case studies of Etruscan artefacts from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology are used to demonstrate the inherence of the work in nondocumentary artefacts. An outline of a meta-theory of "works" is presented that harmonizes the documentary and artefactual domains.

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

In 1996, with funding from the Henry Luce Foundation, Jack Lenor Larsen and an advisory committee composed of distinguished museum and design professionals developed Objects Classified by Mediums in response to the concern that existing systems do not provide the tools for comparing information on objects. A common understanding and definitions of terms are crucial to the success of a classification project meant to cross institutional and national boundaries. Objects Classified by Mediums seeks to organize areas of study in fiber, clay, metal, wood, and so on, to allow curators and scholars to compare information on similar methods used, build a conceptual framework for the greater understanding of whole categories of objects rather than as isolated works, and provide a finding tool for cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary investigation.

Abstract

The Micro Gallery is a computerised, interactive, public access information system located in the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery in London. It provides detailed information about the Gallery's collection of paintings in an accessible form, using digitised colour images and touch screen technology. Discusses the evolution of the system, its reception and the projects it has spawned

Abstract

Users interact with museum application interfaces for many reasons. There are various types of users, who want to perform various tasks, in various contexts, that can access the same Web site. Thus, it is important to have user interfaces able to adapt to these different user requirements to facilitate the accomplishment of the desired goals. Most current interfaces to museum information do not take into account this variety of types of users, thus providing interfaces that some users find confusing to achieve their goals. In this article we discuss the various possible levels of support that can be given to different users during navigation of museum information. In particular, we focus our attention on how to obtain adaptable and adaptive interfaces using the web site for the Marble Museum, which we have designed and developed, as a source of examples for our discussion of possible solutions
