The Museum project (1996 – 2006)

The Museum Project is a photo database that serves as a comprehensive resource for cultural and natural history photos. It includes a vast collection of traditional analog photos and provides data analysis, modeling, and a user-friendly interface. The project aims to support research, teaching, and maintenance of photo collections at universities.

  1. The Museum project(1996 – 2006) Photo database– a common, event centric ”multimedia resource” 21. April 2006 Jon Holmen & Christian-Emil Ore Unit for digital documentation , Faculty of Arts, University of Oslo

  2. Photo collections at the universities • Cultural history photo -University History -Art History - Recent Cultural History -Archaeology photo field work artefacts • Natural History photo -Field Work - Object • Sum 1-2 000 000 traditonal analog photos

  3. Tasks • Data-analysis/-modelling • Implementation • User Interface (by externals) • Loading of data • Testing • Teaching • Maintenance • Development

  4. Data-analysis/-modelling Most time consuming part of development • Discussions with staff • Analysis of data • Design of data model

  5. Data model Initial, simple model (NYK Tromsø 1998): Motif description - place - objects - situation - timestamp Photo -photographer -owner -format -title - etc Photo copies -format -height -width -file path

  6. Then all the disciplines were introduced: • Cultural history photo -University History -Art History - Recent Cultural History -Archaeology photo field work artefacts • Natural History photo -Field Work - Object • Sum 1-2 000 000 traditonal analog photos

  7. Data modelling – 1998 All photos in a common database Content information in local schemata/databases: Local discipline specific databases Common photo database Motif description - place - objects - situation - timestamp Photo -photographer -place -timestamp -owner -format -title Photo copies -format -height -width -file path

  8. Which discipline specific scheme?

  9. Which discipline specific scheme?

  14. Data modelling Which Discipline?

  15. Data modelling Which discipline?

  16. Data modell simple Catalogue information in different discipline schemata Local discipline specific database Common photo database Motif description - place - objects - situation - timestamp photo -photografer -place -timestamp -owner -format -title Photo copies -format -height -width -file path Motif description - place - objects - situation - timestamp Motif description - place - objects - situation - timestamp

  17. Data model simple, 1998 Common photo database, photos and copies. Original photo is taken by a photographer. The rest are copies of this original. Or? photo -photografer -place -timestamp -owner -format -title Photo copies -format -height -width -file path photo -photografer -place -timestamp -owner -format -title Photo copies -format -height -width -file path photo -photografer -place -timestamp -owner -format -title Photo copies -format -height -width -file path

  18. Data modelling Created by a photographer or a facsimile/scan?

  19. Data modelling Identical photos?

  20. Data model Event centric: Source– recording- result Event ”recording” Types photographing Repro Copying Scanning Media object Types -External -Analogue negative -Analogue positive -Digital photo -Digital copy - …. Media Object Types -Analogue negative -Analogue positive -Digital photo -Digital copy - …. Source of Results in when performed by where Timespan Person Place

  21. Data model Separation of ”information object” and ”information carriers” Media Object a Negative film Event 1 Camera, 1966 Is carrier of Disc. spesific cataloguing Media group -unit Information object Media Object b Paper positive Event 2 Copying, ? Disc. spesific cataloguing Media Object c File from scanner Event 3 Scan, 1997 … Media Object d File Event 4 Adjust., 2004

  22. Data model Which object?

  23. Data model Event centric: Source– recording- result Media Object A Type: Digital copy ”Scream” Source for Event Type: Use of photoshop Media Object D Type: Collage ”The Imsdal man Meets Munch” Results in Media Object B Type: Digital copi: ”The Imsdal man” Source for when Performed by when Timespan Person Place

  24. Data model Multiple sources – collage – new ”media group unit” … Media group -unit A Information- Object ”Skrik” Media Object A Type: Digital copy Media group -unit C Information- Object ”The Imsdal man Meets Munch” Based on Media Object C Type: Digital copy Media group - unit B Information- Object ”The Imsdal man” Media Object B Type: Digital copy
