Museum Space – Model-driven Web-based Platform for Digitalisation and Preservation of Cultural Heritage

Abstract

Museum Space is an end-to-end Museum Management Software Suite developed to help Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) make the World’s Cultural Treasure accessible to and meaningful for all. Museum Space utilizes Sirma Enterprise Platform (SEP), a comprehensive open-source platform with a service-orientated model-driven architecture (SOA, MDA) for high performance and reliability in the cloud. SEP incorporates open source components and semantic technologies which are used to implement enterprise content management (ECM) applications covering document and collaboration management, business process management, semantic search, optical character recognition (OCR), image annotation, managing email correspondence, security and permission management, integrations with legacy systems, etc. The semantic technology allows representing highly interlinked data and application of data scheme updates without increasing implementation and maintenance complexity.
