My guess is that the<br /> San Diego Museum of Art, the Timken and the Museum of Man (among<br /> others) might join you in the next few months in seeking a more<br /> comprehensive artifact control system. In addition, the Museum of Man<br /> is just launching a major digitization effort that will last six years.<br /> Their in-house digitization service could be a real boon to your<br /> digitization of artifacts, and since you have much more video and<br /> archives, you might pave the way for them in those areas. </p> <p> Let's see if we can advance this when I'm out in November. </p> <p>David Bearman</p> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:42:33 +0000 dbear comment 1021 at http://www.museumsandtheweb.com http://www.museumsandtheweb.com/forum/balboa_park_online_planning_collaboration#comment-1019 <p> Just wanted to state that we are glad to be a part of this collaboration with everyone. I felt it would be prudent to state that we are in the process of redesigning the Hall of Champions website (<a href="http://www.sdhoc.com" title="www.sdhoc.com">www.sdhoc.com</a>). Google calendar will be utilized for our events.  </p> <p> Thank you Dave for meeting with some of our staff concerning some of the needs for the Hall. I am hoping from those discussions lead to specific needs to help reach some smaller goals such as putting our archived artifacts online. </p> <p> I was curious if anyone used Google Base as a method to keep track of artifact information. One main feature I think it lacks is an easy export feature, though there are APIs which we could utilize (but I do not have the experience to put together a web app to take advantage of them). Just wondering if this can possibly be used over a program. I'm trying to help us develop a method to easily push some of that content over to our new website. </p> <p> ----- </p> <p> Leo Cayetano </p> <p> San Diego Hall of Champions </p> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 18:56:23 +0000 lcayetano comment 1019 at http://www.museumsandtheweb.com
