The project focuses on the prototypical indexing and digitization of five hundred of the 1800 artefacts held in the Deutsches Museum’s founding collection. This selection of mathematics and physics artefacts, collected by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences (Academy Collection), has been accumulated over 140 years and is considered to be one of the most important scientific collections of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Germany. Its composition and range of objects exemplify the extraordinary variety of scientific disciplines and instrument categories of its time. The extension of the collection documentation and its scientific reassessment will create an important information resource, both for researchers of the history of science and technology and for the interested public. In the course of the project, an indexing methodology will be developed that can also be applied to other collections, compiling object-related information derived from research in the history of science. This will be made accessible to external researchers in a free online portal, in which selected information from the object documentation will be adjusted via a mapping function and converted into a European standard for the exchange of museum data. The data within the portal will then be opened to national and international repositories in the history of science and technology through the implementation of a harvesting interface.

该项目的重点是对德意志博物馆创始收藏的1800件文物中的500件进行原型索引和数字化。巴伐利亚科学院（Academy Collection）收藏的这批数学和物理学文物已经积累了140多年，被认为是德国18和19世纪最重要的科学收藏之一。它的组成和对象范围涵盖了当时科学学科和仪器类别的非凡多样性。馆藏文献的扩充及其科学重新评估将为科学技术史研究人员和感兴趣的公众创造一个重要的信息资源。在项目实施过程中，将制定一种索引编制方法，也可用于其他收藏，汇编科学史研究中与实物有关的信息。外部研究人员可以通过免费的在线门户网站访问这些信息，通过映射功能对实物文件中的选定信息进行调整，并将其转换为欧洲标准，用于博物馆数据交换。然后，门户网站内的数据将通过实施一个收集接口向国家和国际科学技术史资料库开放。
