Reconceptualising Heritage Collections: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Museum Collections and Documentation

世界各地的博物馆都在应对数字媒体的技术进步。收集数据库及其在万维网上的提供是这一倡议的一部分。数字技术改变了馆藏文献的潜在范围，但实际上，数据库中的信息质量并没有与之相匹配-它与当前知识的关系，在线用户的需求以及物质文化研究的新跨学科方法。该项目将重新定义博物馆收藏品的获取、文献编制的做法，创建一个新的多学科多媒体知识结构，并改革博物馆的做法，以解决这些问题，从而大大提高收藏品的价值。

Museums worldwide are responding to technical advances in digital media. Collection databases and their availability on the World Wide Web are part of this initiative. The potential scope for collections documentation has been transformed by digital technologies, but in reality this has not been matched by the quality of information held in databases - its relationship to current knowledge, the needs of online users and new interdisciplinary approaches to material culture research. This project will reconceptualise museum collections acquisition, documentation practices, create a new multidisciplinary multimedia knowledge structure and reform museum practice to address these issues to greatly enhance the value of collections.
