Editor's Notes
- New Zealand projects to make cultural heritage more open. Open to more contributors, open to multiple access methods, open to re-use.
- Vernon Systems has been developing museum software since 1985. Paul Rowe has worked for Vernon Systems since 1990.
- eHive is aimed at small museums and museums wanting to collaborate. It provides a simple, low-cost way for small museums, like Owaka Museum in New Zealand, to get their collections online.
- eHive provides programming interfaces, OAI-PMH data harvesting and Wordpressplugins to allow the data to be accessed by different projects and applications.
- eHive’s community feature allows collections content from multiple collectors to be grouped together. NZMuseums is a community made up of all 400 museums within New Zealand.
- Each contributor has their own private account with login access. Each object record with images can be marked as belonging to one or more communities. NZMuseums was marked as a default community for published objects records for each of the NZMuseums members.
- Small museums like the New Zealand Beer Can Museum now have a presence on the web.
- eHive provides a range of licences for content. A default licence can be applied to all records, with individual records marked with licences where this varies.
- Wordpressplugins allow individual collectors or communities to display their content within an independent Wordpress site.
- NZMuseums has added Google Maps options to discovering the locations of museums. The data for this is stored in eHive.
- DigitalNZ aggregates content for libraries, museums and archives in New Zealand.
- Search results can be easily filtered by several different options, including the licence (usage).
- Comments can be added using a Facebook login.
- All pages include the record’s metadata.
- Te Ara, the encyclopedia of New Zealand, provide rich information around individual topics.
- Te Ara includes detailed biographies of famous New Zealanders.
- Linking up resources gives users trails to follow.
- Te Papa, New Zealand’s national museum, provides topic pages for people and places which link to individual collection records.
- These topic pages link to both Te Papa web pages and external resources such as Wikipedia pages for people.
- Each page also includes related results from DigitalNZ. These links are dynamically generated when the page is viewed. The DigitalNZ API returns the details of the related results.
- The New Zealand Electronic Text Centre holds digital copies of significant NZ & Pacific texts. Te Papa links to these from the topic pages.
- All content on Te Ara and NZ Electronic Text Centre is licensed through Creative Commons. DigitalNZ, NZMuseums and eHive has a mixture of licences, including Creative Commons.
- Each museum is an expert in a particular area. Museums have a opportunity to create rich web resources which users trust. Linking these resources helps to create trails for users to follow, not dead-ends.
