multiples as archive collections
pairs or parts of objects that share
with automated, voice-enabled metadata generation
duplicate treatments
training
keep evaluating ‘why’
for (e.g.) images, data
assessments
assessments/treatment assessments with estimated time
methods
numbers
data files
the best teachers
predominantly visual domain via images
checking—software will accept audio, touch screen,
treatment, samples etc.)
Damage on comp. Screen
high resolution, zoomability
document-based
separate but related to image file
database
for collaboratively generated documents
treatment records
what you want to say ‘ok’ to moving 500 objects
to generate new connections (semantically tagged)
data
procedure, analytical results, attached media
different criteria: artists, color, pigments, etc.
museums
lots of different types of information
curators, scientists, other museum professionals, general public
world
capture/dissemination of knowledge
‘packages’/groups of records/objects
who searched our database
entry for occasional users
(stories)
documentation!
search
template edit/archive
conservation documentation
documentation
training programs
(additional note “for materials?”)
an interface in local languages)
right character sets
techniques and damages that reoccur often
international alternatives
and conservation materials with synonymy resolution for preferred terms + foreign language terms
material is not corrupted or altered at a later date
peers to wide public
public/legislators. Children are the future, engage them as early as possible
historical/scientific/technical and treatment
paintings (any object) see in different ways front, back, different light and exam techniques
friendly
topographic movies
modules/techniques
what in uvf how does it work?/ what does it tell us etc.
