The new General Catalogue of Vatican Museums: delivering extensive public interoperability

February 10, 11.55 AM
  •  Is this what was needed in the pandemic?
  •  Have we got it right? 

Giovanni Benigni is currently leading the Vatican Museums' Digital Transformation project. It involves merging all the Vatican's databases into a single, interoperable, IIIF compliant collection management system. 

Ultimately it will, in combination with the major Historical Image Collections digitalization project, create DAMS for all the digital assets plus an associated long-term preservation system. 

The goal: the creation of a unique access point for objects and related information (media, restoration, analysis, historical information, etc.), and a new, richer discovery website for online collections.

In this session, Giovanni will discuss:

  • The genesis of the Vatican Museums’ new CMS and web catalogue.
  • Whether the web presence and interoperability envisaged are appropriate objectives or a missed opportunity – for curators and visitors.

HS DAM events has set the bar for virtual conferences! Live sessions, engaging polls and questions boxes, chats with attendees, and virtual contests for swag...I don't know how a virtual conference could be more awesome! I look forward to this conference every year and the team at HS never disappoints!
