Leitfaden für digitales Sammlungsmanagement an Kunstmuseen

The hand-book serves as an introduction to the topic of digitization at art museums. It sets the focus on digital collection management and explains all steps related to the computer-aided documentation of a collection and the subsequent publishing and connecting data on the web. The guideline builds on internationally established standards as well as the direct work experience of the authors. The recommendations can be adapted to the individual needs and requirements of a museum, regardless of type and size. Valuable practical tips and literature recommendations make it a useful working tool.

Open Access Policy: Ein Leitfaden für Kulturerbe-Einrichtungen in Hessen

Cultural institutions hold extensive cultural assets that have universal and timeless value. Digitisation simplifies access and expands and multiplies the usability of the cultural treasure managed by these institutions. However, open access is often severely hampered by legal, technical, or financial constraints.
Therefore, in 2021, the most important cultural heritage institutions in the state of Hesse committed to a joint Open Access Policy. This guide explains the policy and gives people working in cultural heritage institutions – not only in Hesse – practical advice on how to implement it.

LIDO-Handbuch für die Erfassung und Publikation von Metadaten zu kulturellen Objekten: Band 1: Graphik

LIDO-Handbuch, Volume 1

Volume 1 of the LIDO-Handbook, focusing on graphic arts, was developed in close cooperation with the members of the international network Graphik vernetzt. In order to link data from different collection systems in museums and libraries on cross-collection platforms, common standards for data content and data structure have to be applied. This practical guide lists all relevant data elements for the description of drawings and prints. Each data element contains a definition, advice for cataloguing, examples as well as additional information relevant when exporting data to the LIDO-XML format.

LIDO-Handbuch für die Erfassung und Publikation von Metadaten zu kulturellen Objekten: Band 2: Malerei und Skulptur

LIDO-Handbuch, Volume 2

Volume 2 of the LIDO Handbook is dedicated to painting and sculpture. It describes a specific application profile of the internationally established metadata standard LIDO (Lightweight Information Describing Objects) and serves as a guide for the coherent structuring of information in local collection management systems. Each data field contains a definition, tips for data entry, examples as well as instructions for exporting data based on the LIDO XML schema. All recommendations support the objective of preparing data from different sources in ways that enable comprehensive and precise search results and open opportunities for further cross-linking and integration of information.

Konferenzband EVA Berlin 2018. Elektronische Medien & Kunst, Kultur und Historie: 25. Berliner Veranstaltung der internationalen EVA-Serie Electronic Media and Visual Arts

EVA Berlin, Volume 25

The 25th EVA Berlin Conference [Electronic Media & Visual Arts] bridges between material culture and virtual representation. The concept of «Digital Twins», transferred into the field of Cultural Heritage, is currently changing our practices of curating, scholarly documentation and communication. Digital Twins provide broader access to the collections and allow for innovative narration and visualization concepts. E-installations and streaming services give duration to the performative arts or turn music into a perfect listening experience in the digital concert hall.
