More about this Gallery Systems project
The eMuseum Network is a Java Networking Platform designed to access multiple collections, from a single Web site hosted by Gallery Systems, with advanced search features and collaboration tools. This latest project is designed to allow all member museums to share their collection catalogues with each other. Similar to the public access to collections currently provided by many museums on their Web sites, this network provides simultaneous searching and browsing of multiple collections from a single entry point, in a share-and-share-alike fashion.
Who can participate?
Potentially, any cultural institution can participate, but participation in the eMuseum Network is currently by invitation only or upon request. Only institutions that are sharing collections data will be allowed to enter the network to access data.
Each participating institution can decide how much of their collection to make available. For example, it would be possible to include data only on objects that are already included on a public Web site or to make more data available to a scholarly audience.
Participants will be asked to make collections information available and we plan to include a forum for discussion so that participants can share ideas. For more information please
email us at jp@gallerysystems.com.
