Hi Kristy,

Thanks for asking this question. We are *very* interested in stimulating this exchange and where possible drawing people into giving insights and feedback. Lynne (when she draws breath from her visits to Melbourne and Brisbane) is going to develop some information about how KEMu is being used at the Powerhouse. It would be ideal if other organisations contribute to this discussion, whether they are KEMu users or other collection system users. What we all want to know is how museums are structuring this data in their collection systems – and – ideally a little more about how they see they would like to make the collection level data available online via their own websites. If you’ve some thoughts already on this front, please share them with the site coordinators, and if possible through the MMESiteCoord Google Group so it can be widely seen. Alternatively we’d welcome a blog post from a participant outside of the project team on this topic too (it’s in everyone’s interests let’s say to get this ball rolling)… hint hint

Best wishes, Ingrid

We here at History SA are also interested in having a conversation about modifying the Narratives module to encompass all the CLD fields. Fields like URL and second description field would be very useful for us long term also. Is this something that could become part of the wider MME Project given that a number of us use EMu for collection management?

Andrew Simpson from Macquarie University emailed me to let me know about the blog a.muse.ine the Museums Studies folks at Macquarie have up: The Great Museum Trek.

The blog covers the conference and the first part is all about the MQU student field trip that brought them to Melbourne.

Many thanks for the tip on the Narrative project (another one to add to my long list of impressive projects I need to look at!)

Hope to catch up with you again at the Australasian e-Research conference in November (if not before)

Thanks for letting us know you’re the go-to person for the ASMRA project Deb.

I wondered whether the data pattern analysis work you do will be a part of the ASMRA project of if that’s one of the other strings to your bow?

Because…

There is an ARC between Museum Victoria, iCinema, Calit2 and City University (Hong Kong) that will visualise and analyse collection data you may be interested in..

Narrative Reformulation of Museological Data “applied research into the narrative forms that underpin museological archives” see: http://www.icinema.unsw.edu.au/ic_grants.html

Tim Hart and Sarah Kenderdine are the reps for Museum Victoria (who are supplying the data). If you want their contact emails… just let me know.

I should probably add too that Sam Searle is the ANDS go-to person for the researcher data project at Monash that Jackie Waylen is working on too.

Good wishes, Ingrid

Still blushing from Ingrid’s summary of the day – which was – as she describes it – pretty fantastic.

For those interested in the RMIT-ANDS project (the Australian Screen Media Research Archive) I am the *official* contact person and I’d certainly be really keen to hear from anyone who might be interested in contributing to the project. We’re just finalising some details with ANDS but hope to have a website with a full description up and running in the next few weeks.

You can contact me at RMIT: deb[dot]verhoeven[at]rmit[dot]edu[dot]au
cheers
Deb
