Open Source Collections Management: Miami Art in Public Places and CollectionSpace
Abstract
Mediatrope's exhibitor briefing will present our recent collaboration with the Miami Art in Public Places (MAPP) program. Our work with MAPP includes the development of a unique map-based public website and an open source collections management system powered by the new CollectionSpace software.
Mediatrope is the first third-party vendor to work with CollectionSpace and our briefing will explore the opportunities and challenges for museums seeking to implement open source collections management software.
We will also describe the process of designing user interfaces - for the public and for MAPP staff - that support a geographically diverse public art collection.
