项目摘要

This project will help cultural heritage organisations to use geospatial data - references and representations of location, such as where objects were made and used or the places they depict and describe - to connect diverse collections and engage research and public audiences in new ways. Through scoping, workshops and audience research the project will establish best practice and provide technical recommendations for the development of a national discovery system whereby objects about a topic of interest can be readily discovered from a variety of sources, represented in the context of their historic environment, and referenced in time and landscape. At present, discovering collections across multiple institutions and collections can be problematic in terms of user experience, requiring complex text-box searches or commercial search engines. However, in the field of Classics, The Pelagios Network of researchers, scientists and curators has developed a methodology that uses gazetteer referencing to link research data across diverse collections with considerable success, building a community of partners and stimulating new research perspectives. Similarly, the Collections Trust's prototype aggregator demonstrates that searching across cultural heritage collections using geographic location is feasible. This project builds on these methods, scoping improvements to the aggregator's results and exploring ways to present location in an accessible and meaningful form for public consumption. A key question is how the place-based Pelagios methodology can best be integrated with space-based cultural heritage data resources brought together by the Collections Trust aggregator. To test and scope this ambition, participating organisations will work on a set of thematic and technological case studies that will test the technical feasibility and appeal of the approach to potential users, ultimately developing an understanding of scalability.The project aims to understand the requirements of stakeholders, institutional, academic and public, in order to inform content selection, technical decisions and maximise impact. It will investigate how we can use location to build a common infrastructure that links collections and render this content accessible and meaningful to different audiences. The objective is to understand the technical components required, the current and potential options available and to make recommendations for potential solutions, all of which will be described in the project report. The report will constitute a strategy, offering pathways for progress and outlining potential barriers to inform developments in the next phase of Towards a National Collection and across the cultural heritage sector more broadly. It will encourage cultural heritage organisations to take up a common geospatial approach and will provide a roadmap to enable diverse organisations to enrich their metadata and expose this in a consistent and joined-up way. Pelagios has had success with a decentralised, 'opt-in' model of partner engagement. Our project will explore whether distributed or centralised models of integration and cooperation are relevant to the integration of cultural heritage organisations. It will develop understanding within the cultural heritage sector of how location-based interfaces can be used to make collections meaningful, spear-heading a movement beyond text-based searches in the discovery of content. Location offers an exemplar, offering a common thread from which we can learn about wider opportunities in connecting collections using other commonalities such as person, time or subject.

该项目将帮助文化遗产组织使用地理空间数据-位置的参考和表示，例如对象的制作和使用或它们描绘和描述的地方-将不同的收藏品联系起来，并以新的方式吸引研究和公众。通过范围界定、讲习班和受众研究，该项目将确立最佳做法，并为开发国家发现系统提供技术建议，从而可以从各种来源容易地发现与感兴趣的主题有关的物体，这些物体以其历史环境为背景，并在时间和景观中引用。目前，发现跨多个机构和集合的集合可能在用户体验方面存在问题，需要复杂的文本框搜索或商业搜索引擎。然而，在经典领域，研究人员、科学家和策展人组成的Pelagios网络开发了一种方法，利用地名索引将不同收藏品的研究数据联系起来，取得了相当大的成功，建立了一个合作伙伴社区，并激发了新的研究视角。同样，收藏信托基金的原型聚合器表明，使用地理位置搜索文化遗产收藏品是可行的。该项目以这些方法为基础，确定对聚合器结果的改进范围，并探索如何以方便和有意义的形式提供位置信息，供公众使用。一个关键问题是，如何以最佳方式将基于地点的Pelagios方法与藏品信托基金汇集器汇集的天基文化遗产数据资源相结合。为了测试和确定这一目标，参与组织将开展一系列主题和技术案例研究，以测试该方法的技术可行性和对潜在用户的吸引力，最终了解可扩展性。该项目旨在了解利益相关者，机构，学术和公众的需求，以便为内容选择，技术决策提供信息并最大化影响。它将研究我们如何使用位置来构建一个通用的基础设施，将集合链接起来，并将这些内容呈现给不同的受众。目的是了解所需的技术组成部分、现有的和潜在的备选办法，并就潜在的解决办法提出建议，所有这些都将在项目报告中加以说明。该报告将构成一项战略，提供取得进展的途径，并概述潜在的障碍，为下一阶段的国家收藏和更广泛的文化遗产部门的发展提供信息。它将鼓励文化遗产组织采取共同的地理空间方法，并将提供一个路线图，使不同的组织能够丰富其元数据，并以一致和联合的方式公开这些元数据。Pelagios成功地采用了一种分散的、“选择加入”的合作伙伴参与模式。我们的项目将探讨分布式或集中式的整合与合作模式是否与文化遗产组织的整合有关。它将使文化遗产部门了解如何利用基于位置的界面使收藏品有意义，从而在发现内容方面引领一场超越基于文本的搜索的运动。位置提供了一个范例，提供了一个共同的线索，我们可以从中了解使用其他共性（如人，时间或主题）连接集合的更广泛的机会。
