The beginning
![Page 12: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

What we had
• A mess
• A single Collection Management System, but obsolete,
inadequate
• Poor data standards
• Fragmented processes
• Paper based, isolated processes
• No digital media management
• “Private” data sets
![Page 14: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The plan
• Implemented KE EMu
• Wanted all collection related information and processes in a single system
• All collection related media managed, with long-term access and preservation in mind
• Digital collection items managed appropriately
• Rights and licences managed in EMu
• Where possible, consistent description across collections
![Page 15: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why centralise?
• No more lost/duplicated/out-of-synch data (well, less)
• No data silos
• Transparency & accountability
• Improved standards, processes
• Consistent collection management
• Consistent collection information management
• About collections, not format
• Strong but simple content framework
• Single focus for data preservation
• One system to support, and sustain
• One system to train in, learn to use
• Efficient content creation, access & publication
• Creates appropriate ownership of content creation
![Page 16: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Whoa.
That looks complicated.
And kinda boring.
![Page 28: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Lets do more!
![Page 29: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

New conceptual framework
• Making EMu a Collection Information System, not just a Collection Management System
• Manages semantic, meaningful relationships across records from all modules
• Based on ISO 21127:2006 CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model
• Addition of relationship types, i.e., how is a concept, person or place related to an object: e.g. “depicts”, “influenced”, “refers to”
• Previously hidden relationships are now visible, and browseable
• Significant conceptual change, but is now part of normal cataloguing processes
![Page 31: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Cataloguing for access, not just collections
management
![Page 32: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
It isn’t just for us, it’s for them.
Whoever they are.
![Page 33: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Collections Online
• We’ve had collections available online now for a
number of years, all data and media coming from EMu
• 500,000 collection items 12,000 people, 5000 places,
subjects etc
• Ability to browse through related items, people,
taxonomy, subjects etc, because that structure and
data exists in EMu
• *NEW* Responsive website
• Highlighted problems with being able to show such rich
data on all types of device
• More to do
![Page 34: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Co screen shots
![Page 35: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Narratives
• Museums aren’t just a repository of objects, we’re a
generator of knowledge, stories etc.
• Our stories and theirs
• Research and stories are managed in relation to the other
information
× Online, the more we use it, the more we want it to do
× Very template driven
× Not very flexible in terms of layout
× Need to learn from other forms of tech
× Their stories - need ingest from web

• Narrative example
![Page 37: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Thesaurus
We use:
• Getty Art and Architecture Thesaurus
• Getty Thesaurus of Geographic names
• Library of Congress Thesaurus for Graphic Materials, Subjects
Because:
• They already exist and used all over the world
• Excellent partnerships, we are on the GRI ITWG
• Provides hierarchical browsing, “alternates” and “used for” terms, scope notes, and lots of other content we didn’t have to create
However:
• Thesaurus management in EMu not perfect, took development, needs a lot more
• Has taken six years of cataloguing to get content to the richness it currently has, but a long way to go
![Page 38: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Local thesauri
• Māori and Pacific terms not covered well in AAT, yet
• Sometimes the western understanding of a concept is different to that under Mātauranga Māori
• Need to catalogue in English and indigenous languages for appropriate description, and make access and understanding easier
• Hope to contribute back to AAT, improving the description of Tāonga Māori in collections around the world
• Need systems to exchange data between EMu and the GRI
![Page 39: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Maori term page, pounamu
![Page 40: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Exhibitions
• All in-house exhibitions have branded Minisites
delivered from EMu
• Some on floor interactives delivered via EMu
• Exhibition development and management using
exhibition items
• Now working on text and label development in EMu
![Page 41: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Getting out there
• Collections Online is a great base for exploring and learning about Te Papa’s collections, however
• Te Papa doesn’t hold all knowledge
• Partnerships make our collections available from other places, and also allow the public to find information from across institutions
• Not all are directly connected to EMu, but all content comes from there
• We track what’s been used where in EMu
• We link to other sources as much as possible
![Page 44: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Adkin diary transcription
• Crowdsourcing diary transcriptions
• Using existing tech as much as possible as no budget
• Just testing the waters
• Using narratives, collections online, Google Docs and
Forms.
• Need to look at crowdsourcing, or student sourcing for
image preparation
• It’s a hack, but we’ve got a lot of transcription done

Sector changes
• Museums increasingly acknowledging importance of
opening up & letting go, sharing authority,
encouraging re-use
• Alignment of content creation processes, multiple
channels
• New forms of publishing
• Linked data
• New forms of collecting
• Changing perspectives on what a collection is
• Stories more important than ever
• Need to be available where people are, on whatever
device they want
• All great stuff, but it means there is more to manage
• Our team is actually smaller, but we are doing more

New-ish things we’re
looking at
(and would like help
with)
![Page 69: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Digital Asset Management &
Preservation• Museums have to work with software designed for other sectors
• Preservation not yet a big consideration for DAMS
• Digital collection items should be managed by the collection
system
• In some cases digitised collections may become collection items
Basic DAM functionality, item description
Single authoritative source, clear relationships
Object info is kept on object, image info kept with image
Repositories, layers of access
Conservation module for preservation actions etc
× Open Archival Information System OAIS model- SIPs, AIPs &
DIPs
× Integrated tools for fixity, format validation and analysis
× More efficient workflows
× The dreaded “non-collection” media
![Page 70: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Collecting Intangible Heritage
• No longer just about collecting static, physical objects
• Similar issues with “collecting contemporary”
• Most will probably be digital
• Games, ideas, dance, language, stories, rituals…
“Conceptual” description model in place
Not separate systems for separate formats
Rights management includes indigenous rights
Digital description and management
Similar to born digital art works? Similar to analogue
media?
× Is lacking existing process, rather than tech
× Future representation?
![Page 71: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
User generated/contributed content
• Co-created, user generated, user contributed, I see it
as a spectrum
• Comments, downloads, stories, dis/likes, new works,
images, video
• Could be used to collect low- or high-tech interaction
• Users expect to interact more, shouldn’t we put effort
into preserving that?
× Ingest from web
× User expectation and museum literacy
× Our expectation, what is useful/important?

Object “use”
• Already record that collections have been used in exhibitions,
loans etc., but what about all the other uses?
• Need to surface this to management, but I think more
importantly, to the rest of staff, particularly curators
• Digital life of an object, more significant than physical?
What does the system need next?
• All interaction with a collection item
• Likes, comments, tweets, stories, experiences
• Reuse of items
• Google analytics, Addthis, social media tools
• Tracking downloads and use of images
• Need to pull it all together, and keep a history
• Use as targets, need to change how/what we measure to be
useful
![Page 73: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Record “Quality”
• We need smarter ways of seeing the collection as a
whole, and looking for patterns
• Automated measure of record quality based on smart
indicators
• Accessibility as a measure, e.g. rights cleared?
• Put it right up front, in front of the staff, and the public
• Would allow us to plan digitisation programmes, at risk
items, help with auditing
• Compare against Object use

So
• We’ve done a lot, and it’s been great
• But there are a lot of hacks, and workarounds,
particularly as budgets have decreased
• We are constantly having to defend EMu limitations
against increased digital expectations
• We’ve pushed EMu a lot
• We’re starting to get worried about complexity and
sustainability
• We have a very large mobile project coming up which
is going to push us even further
![Page 77: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Technology, society and
public expectation is
changing faster than the
organisation, staff, and
EMu
![Page 78: What a difference 10 years makes | But where to from here?](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/559b17af1a28ab8e308b4800/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Are we expecting too
much from a single
system?
