• A more active, integrated website
• A more visual interface
• The data to underpin online and in-gallery services
• Improved the search across all collections
• More interpretive content - multimedia and links to external resources
• Incorporated user-generated content – tags, personal collections
• Access to more records – part or whole
• A bespoke open-source content management system
• Develop tools and policies to promote re-use of data and content
What we wanted to achieve
![Page 3: Collections online 2011 lawrence chiles (national maritime museum)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/556354d3d8b42a3a0d8b58b4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Connect objects and records across our varied collection– Use inked data to enable connectivity between objects – Help develop the story and relationships across collections
• Give objects a growing online identity– A permanent/stable home based on Object IDs
• To be conversational– Let people use the data but then start/react to the conversation– If no one knows it’s there...
What we wanted to achieve
![Page 4: Collections online 2011 lawrence chiles (national maritime museum)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/556354d3d8b42a3a0d8b58b4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Changed the criteria– From ‘Web ready’ to ‘Not for web use’– No images OK– 4 basic mandatory fields – ID, title, physical description and credit
• Mapped 3 separate collection types– Objects– Charts and Maps– Archive catalogue
• Work with what we have got– Data will never be perfect, improve as we go
What we did
![Page 5: Collections online 2011 lawrence chiles (national maritime museum)](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/556354d3d8b42a3a0d8b58b4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Offer different ways to the data– OAI-PMH (for aggregation into Culture Grid and onwards to
Europeana)– OpenSearch– XML
• Used the principles of linked to data to link out of collections online– AEON – Archival retrieval service through our Archive catalogue– Cabinet – For our print ordering service– WorldCat – Links to publications– Plans to work with Wikimedia commons to enhance authority records
(Vessels authority)
• Exposed both the SOLR API for ‘traditional’ searching and the SPARQL end-point for linked data– Promoted at Culture and History Hack days in London
What we did - extending in and out
