Linking islands of data

博物馆的收藏品通常包括似乎不属于语料库的文物，因此被认为是孤立的。这些物品与更广泛的收藏之间缺乏联系，这意味着当它们被展示时，缺乏背景和联系可能会使观众难以理解。这些围绕展示和解释的困难意味着，策展人不愿经常展示它们，以至于他们无法走出博物馆的储藏室，这意味着观众对过去的看法可能会变得扭曲。即使在展出时，临时展览的寿命也很短(3-6个月)，而创造简明文字信息的要求意味着非专业观众要么难以观看艺术品，要么将艺术品完全与背景联系起来。通过将持有相关信息的博物馆收藏品连接起来，该项目将提高每件文物的可见度，增强文物的上下文，并使交叉搜索成为可能。通过汇集来自博物馆学、材料古代世界研究和数字人文学科的专家，该项目将为缺乏数字经验和专业知识的博物馆制定简单、低成本路线的最佳做法，以获取和实施数字解决方案。这些项目的重点是考古的古典世界，并将导致一个开放的数字展览，以配合将于2020/21年度在剑桥的费茨威廉博物馆举行的实物展览--成为一个岛民：地中海大岛屿的艺术和身份。该项目的大部分成果都是针对大规模的公众消费，菲茨威廉博物馆的展览经常有大约90,000人参加。这场展览在剑桥闭幕后，可能会巡回其他场馆。该项目将创建一系列可用于宣传该项目的数字输出。其中包括：1)一套3部社交媒体友好的电影，设定在为该项目选择的每个地点(都非常上镜-费茨威廉博物馆、盖蒂博物馆和古代世界研究所。这些电影可以以各种形式在各种平台上传播。所有这些都将是移动友好的，并有无障碍字幕。2)从项目第一天起在Fitzwilliam博物馆的服务器上托管的网络存在，以及相关的博客，该博客将安排和策划记录研究进展的内容3)由团队并通过与机构沟通团队的联系(例如，剑桥大学在Twitter上有超过40万名追随者，在Facebook上有210万名追随者)产生强大的社交媒体存在(提议的网络的大多数核心员工都有强大的社交媒体存在)。4)一系列技术文章，将记录如何实施在网络研讨会期间研究的方法，例如，将开放式数据建模或3D摄影测量数据处理联系起来5)通过主要的会议报告和期刊出版物(将由国际和平研究所和联合信息系统机构以实物捐助的形式提供资金)，通过发展旨在开发新的数字工具研究潜力的合作、跨学科和国际网络，我们正在响应AHRC的遗产战略优先领域战略。

Museum collections often include artefacts that do not seem to belong to a corpus and therefore are perceived as isolated. The lack of connections between these objects and wider collections mean that when they are displayed the lack of context and connections can make them difficult for audiences to understand. These difficulties around display and interpretation mean that curators are reluctant to display them so often they don't come out of museum storage, which means that audiences' views of the past can become skewed. Even when they are displayed, temporary exhibitions have a short life (3-6 months) and the requirements to create concise textual information mean that the non-expert audience will either struggle to view the artefacts or fully contextualise the artefact. Through connecting museum collections holding related information, this project will improve the visibility of each artefact, enhancing the objects' context and enabling cross-searches. By bringing together experts from across museology, the study of the material ancient world and digital humanities disciplines, this project will develop best practice in easy, low cost routes for museums lacking the digital experience and expertise to access and implement digital solutions. The projects focuses on the Classical World of Archaeology and will lead to an openly-accessible digital exhibition to accompany a physical exhibition, Being an Islander: Art and Identity of the large Mediterranean Islands, that will be held at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge in 2020/21. The majority of the outputs of this project are aimed at public consumption on a large scale, with Fitzwilliam Museum exhibitions regularly reaching around 90,000 people attending. This exhibition will potentially tour to other venues following its close in Cambridge. This project will create a wide array of digital outputs that can be used to publicise the project. These include:1) A set of 3 social media friendly films, set in each of the locations chosen for the project (all extremely photogenic - the Fitzwilliam Museum, the Getty and the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. These films can be disseminated in various formats and on a wide variety of platforms. All will be mobile friendly and have subtitles for accessibility. 2) A web presence from day one of the project, hosted on the Fitzwilliam Museum's servers with an associated blog that will have scheduled and curated content that documents the research progress3) A strong social media presence (the majority of the core staff of the network proposed have strong social media presence) generated by the team and through liaison with institutional communications teams (for example Cambridge University has over 400,000 followers on Twitter and 2.1 million on Facebook.)4) A series of technical articles that will document how to implement the methods that are studied during the network's workshops, for example Linked Open Data modelling or 3D photogrammetric data processing5) Through major conference presentations and journal publications (which will be funded as in-kind contributions by the PI and Co-Is institutions)Through developing a collaborative, cross-disciplinary and international network that aims to exploit the research potential of new digital tools, we are responding to the AHRC's heritage strategic priority area strategy.
