Since the mid 1990s, MusIS (Museum Information System), a service of the Library Service Centre Baden-Wuerttemberg (Bibliotheksservice-Zentrum Baden Württemberg BSZ) runs a documentation network for museums.
Among the members are the State Museums of the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg and several larger and smaller institutions from other branches. MusIS hosts a wide range of services for museum documentation and management. An important goal of the network is to create high quality documentation in a consistent form that can be used for multiple purposes inside and outside the participating museums. In order to achieve this goal, MusIS established a set of strategies and guidelines for quality control in museum documentation:
- Quality measures during data migration
- Consulting in documentation
- Application of controlled vocabulary
- Rules for entering data from index cards or inventory catalogues
- Data revision
These measures, techniques, and strategies lead to a certain degree of consistency and quality of data and documentation.

The spell of ubiquitous knowledge. Europeana, a portal to European cultural and scientific knowledge
(2009)
The target of Europeana is to make Europe's cultural and scientific resources accessible for all.
In detail the aims are:
- Providing access to Europe’s cultural and scientific heritage through a cross-domain portal,
- co-operating in the delivery and sustainability of the joint portal,
- stimulating initiatives to bring together existing digital content,
- supporting digitisation of Europe’s cultural and scientific heritage.
Summary:
- RDF is a simple, graph-based data model for metadata on the web
- RDF has an XML syntax for:
- Exchanging RDF Models
- Embedding RDF Models into web pages
- Advantages over XML
- Data model is agnostic to syntactic variations
- Information from different models and locations can easily be linked
- Some important operations are trivial (i.e. merging two models)
- RDF Schema defines special resources and predicates for defining vocabularies
- Vokabular: Class, SubClassOf, domain, range
- Implicit information can be derived using simple derivation rules
- There is no clear separation between model and schema, schema elements can be part of an RDF model
Same same, but different? Challenges and solutions in the opening process of the GND authority control for cultural institutions.
The growing online presence of cultural heritage institutions such as museums, archives, libraries and other research institutions requires efficient ways to interlink the collections of our cultural treasures in web portals like Europeana or the German Digital Library (DDB). One precondition for interlinking datasets is the shared use of authority files and controlled vocabularies. The Integrated Authority File (GND) is a widely recognized vocabulary for description and information retrieval in German speaking library communities. It is a tool to guarantee true disambiguation of persons, corporations, geographica, subject headings, works etc. being referred to in all media types. Published as linked open data, the GND fosters semantic interoperability and re-use of data. Objects kept in different collections can be retrieved, and cross-disciplinary research is facilitated. However, authority control for the Semantic Web goes beyond the needs of librarians. In order to open the GND for interdisciplinary use, it needs to be adapted and actively transformed by the communities.
The opening process of the GND is accompanied by the project "GND for cultural data" (GND4C) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Together with the German National Library and the DDB, four project partners of the museum, archive and cultural heritage domain define their specific needs on the organisational structure, the data model and application profiles, the technical infrastructure and the community network beyond the library community. We like to focus on the challenge how to create an environment for true cross-domain authority control beyond shared vocabularies.
Three general remarks about documentation:
- The kind of documentation is dependent on its purposes. Order is not an end in itself.
- Questions of documentation are never of an ideological, but of a pragmatic kind.
- Documentation should serve only (and exactly only) one aim: the enhancement of the retrieval of knowledge relevant to your daily work.
