Museum 2015 – backround
Pilot museums delivered data to the National Digital Library of Finland in 2011
Pilot data pointed out: numerous inconsistencies in the museum
cataloging different CMSs cause most of the
inconsistencies in metadata some problems solved by a harvesting tool
LIDO, but not all

Working group of functional and technical requirements specifications
Aims: System very up-to-date with the current state
of progress made in information science System follows standards System is very easy to use Challenges: Variety of museums Ease of use / CMS should be suitable for many
different and complex processes
