[MCN-L] CMS and DAMS Request for Information from QAGOMA in Australia
Hi all This is one for the great GLAM vendors out there from the _Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art_ in Brisbane, Australia. -- QAGOMA welcomes submissions from vendors who can provide software, either as a single solution, or combined solution for the two software applications that they are planning to implement, being: 1. a Collection Management System (CMS ) with a turnkey Collection Online web interface; 2. a Digital Asset Management System (DAMS). QAGOMA has an open mind on how this is integrated and would like to hear from vendors who could supply either a DAMS and/or a CMS solution and can demonstrate the ability to integrate with another application to deliver a seamless overall solution. QAGOMA’s objective in conducting this Request for Information (RFI ) process is to review the capability and suitability of each RFI respondent (Suppliers) to perform the required services. After the RFI process, QAGOMA may, in its absolute discretion, select a shortlist of Suppliers to whom a detailed Invitation to Offer (ITO) will be sent. Nothing in this RFI prevents QAGOMA from selecting no Suppliers to shortlist. The selected Suppliers may be required to submit tender proposals which include planned resources, work method, price and other detailed information. This selection will be undertaken in a two-stage process. STAGE 1: RFI EVALUATION & SHORTLIST (THIS RFI PROCESS) RFI submissions will be evaluated as per the Evaluation Criteria provided with this RFI and Suppliers will be shortlisted accordingly. The number of shortlisted participants is at the absolute discretion of QAGOMA . STAGE 2: INVITATION TO OFFER (ITO PROCESS) Following the completion of development of the final QAGOMA CMS /DAMS Project Business Requirements Document, the ITO will be forwarded to the shortlisted Suppliers for submission of a tender to undertake the CMS /DAMS project. The successful Supplier(s) selected during the ITO process will be engaged under General Contract Conditions – ICT Products and Services – Version 1.0.0 (under the Queensland Information Technology Contract [QITC ] Framework).

Re: [MCN-L] Managing and storing video content for website
Hi Matt We've got a lot of video as texture in on sfmoma.org, on the homepage and exhibition pages for example, and at the time we were developing it, a service like Brightcove made that possible. I'd like to be able to replace it, however it's so baked into our workflows and content syndication that we're staying with it. If we decided today, I think we'd look elsewhere.

I wonder if the numbers you you're seeing don't translate to people actually opening up the list of available networks on their devices. I think our devices are constantly scanning for networks, and each scan might result in a ping to our wireless systems. For example, the way Location Services generally works (if i'm not mistaken) is if we have wifi enabled on our devices, they've constantly scanning for networks to triangulate our location. The more accurate the location is as we move, the more scanning our devices need to do. So I'm not surprised that 75% of mobile users are "looking for free wifi." I think that's more a reflection of our devices constantly scanning wifi networks.

Re: [MCN-L] Digital signage recommendations
We use Brightsign for all the informational digital signage at SFMOMA, it's solid. The only issue is the lack of professional services from Brightsign, so there can be a lot of staff time spent getting everything working they way you want it. We've also developed a custom Cinder application (and supporting web based CMS) for the large 6 and 12 screen arrays in the museum's atriums as there wasn't an effective off the shelf solution for what we wanted to do on those displays. -k Keir Winesmith Head of Web and Digital Platforms San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Now Open!

They have client software for windows & linux, and also sell media players on their website if you don't want to spec something yourself. I've been running the clients for our displays on Raspberry Pi v3 hardware which is incredibly economical, however it did require some configuration to tune for performance and compatibility with our monitors. Video is not possible with this setup since there is no hardware acceleration through chromium on the Raspberry Pi which is what their client software uses, however it has been working great for "slideshow" type displays & static displays such as our coffee shop menu which don't require anything fancy.

And we've got three questions for those also interesting in slaying this Unicorn. 1. Have you created a unified shopping cart for your institution with either Tessitura or Magento, or both? 1.

[MCN-L] Cloud Computing
As a contemporary art institution, we often display and give a stage for discussion to artists and performers who are marked as dissidents and troublemakers. It will be counter to our mission if some critical instance of our operation goes dark because of some political pressure. Hear, hear. Also worth noting that technology companies come and go at an increasingly rapid pace. If your institution's ideas and digital artworks/holdings are core to its mission, then I would caution against putting them in any one place, either onsite or in the cloud.

We do not, and will not, employ cloud services as a primary repository of our data, for several reasons which I will briefly discuss here. 1. Technical: Bandwidth in the US is still very expensive. To get real quality of services for a network of 70+ users, the bandwidth cost will be prohibitive. Procedural: there is very little recourse when a cloud provider decides to change an interface, drop a feature etc... this has the potential to be very disruptive, we can defer that kind of change internally, when time allows it. 2. This point is more of a philosophical position, but a critical one. I maintain that a museum should not surrender its data any more than it should surrender its library or collection to a for-profit entity. I am reminded of two incidents that happened in November 2010 that serve as a warning for a contemporary art institution like ours. In November 2010 under pressure from the Catholic League and other conservative organizations the national gallery caved under pressure and removed David Wojnarowicz A fire in My Belly from the exhibition floor. About the same time period, WikiLeaks has released the famed diplomatic cables after which a financial blockade by leading banks and credit card processors as well as a range of internet service providers dropped the organization storage and various other web functions. It is important to recall that the actions taken against WikiLeaks took place without any court order, simply by political pressure and shareholder pressure. As a contemporary art institution, we often display and give a stage for discussion to artists and performers who are marked as dissidents and troublemakers.

Local IT person just can't compete with that. If you can find a local IT company who are experts at supporting your services running on cloud services then this is a much better proposition.

Hi Travis (all) Thanks for putting that together. We've been debating our approach to video production of late, so it would be great to see how the community responds to this.

There is an increasing need for video content at our museum, especially for social media, but also for education and mobile development. We try hard to maintain a level of quality in our still imaging and I want to maintain a level of quality control as the video content grows. Currently video content it is being generated in various departments by contractors, interns, or volunteers - and it is all over the place. I would like to get a sense of how others manage multimedia production at your institutions. I know there is a Media Production SIG, so I am particularly keen to hear from those folks. Is video production a unique department? If not, where does it fall? Do you have dedicated staff for video production? Who? How many? How is the finished content stored? DAMs? Hard copy? Do you save edited projects only or all raw footage as well? Who manages the storage? Just curious how others are handling this.

[MCN-L] Recap of Museums Mobile Conference + a question about apps and learning
Hi Dana Thanks for posting a comprehensive recap. Due to timezones I wasn't able to follow it all on the day, so I look forward to catching up. I've written up a short post about the session I took part in, with some more details about the MCA Now project I've received a few tweets about. If there is an interest in how we manage it day-to-day, or if someone wants the source code, we'll post that online too. http://keirdotnet.net/content/museum-and-mobile-statistics-analytics/ To put something towards your second question. I haven't seen any research that genuinely delves into how/if learning happens through apps and mobile web in museums. However, we recently added the MCA's app to the briefing notes our learning team gives secondary school teachers, including advice on how the app's in-gallery collect and share functionality can be used to set tasks for students. We are now seeing a bump in downloads on days when a few of these school groups visit the Museum. We'll soon follow up with these teachers to find out how effective it is a teaching tool. I'll let you know what we discover. cheers, keir Keir Winesmith Manager, Digital Media MCA l Museum of Contemporary Art 140 George Street The Rocks, Sydney, 2000 w: www.mca.com.au On 22/03/2013, at 6:28 AM, Allen-Greil, Dana wrote: First, I wanted to share my recap of Tuesday?s Museums Mobile online conference, which featured case studies from museums around the globe and some excellent food for thought.

[MCN-L] Wi-Fi at the Art Institute
Hi Sam That looks like a really interesting project (here is the link for those inclined to check it out: http://www.artic.edu/visit/maps-guides-and-apps), I wish I was in Chicago to get the full experience. I enjoyed using the ANHM explorer app when in I was in New York last year. Are you going to be at MW2013? I'd been keen to talk to you about your experience putting the location smarts together to compare to my experience with the MCA's location aware app that we launched last year. It provides locative information at the room level, not within a room, so not appropriate for turn-by-turn navigation (here is a link for those inclined: http://www.mca.com.au/apps/insight/).

Here's a press release we just sent out today (and there will be a paper on the subject published by Museums and the Web very soon). - ART INSTITUTE BECOMES FIRST ART MUSEUM TO OFFER TOURS WITH INDOOR GPS FOR APPLE AND ANDROID DEVICES Free App Offers 50 Custom Tours with Indoor Mapping Wi-Fi Now Installed throughout All Museum Public Spaces The Art Institute of Chicago is pleased to announce the launch of Art Institute of Chicago Tours, a free indoor GPS app for Apple and Android devices that presents 50 rich and varied tours of all the public spaces in the museum and its thousands of works on view. The custom tours offer information on more than 300 works of art, 50 different ways to organize a visit to the museum according to a visitor's interests, and turn-by-turn navigation, made possible by the museum's new free and open Wi-Fi network and indoor-GPS software. The Art Institute of Chicago Tours app allows museum-goers to explore unfamiliar parts of the museum, learn more about their favorite works and artists, and plan personalized visits to the museum. Map apps that help smart phone users get around outdoors are consistently the most popular in the app stores. Venues such as art museums have long hoped to provide a similar experience indoors, but have faced barriers from the technological limitations of satellite GPS. With its new Meridian-powered app, the Art Institute of Chicago becomes the first art museum in the world to offer visitors an indoor GPS app for both iPhone and Android. The Art Institute of Chicago's app will give visitors that familiar glowing blue dot on the map, guiding them to art works, facilities such as restrooms and checkrooms, and more. While we treasure works of art from the past, we're also mindful that we need to ensure that these works remain relevant and accessible in the present, said Douglas Druick, President and Eloise W. Martin Director of the Art Institute. Installing a Wi-Fi system throughout our museum--even the 120-year-old original Michigan Avenue building--allows us to now offer visitors an experience of the museum that is shaped around their interests. We've created an array of tours that will hopefully satisfy everyone--from a family in the museum for the first time to those interested in diving more deeply into specific collections to visitors who want to see works created specifically by Chicago artists. With this app and our Wi-Fi network, we've taken an exciting step in making it possible for our visitors to have personalized experiences at the museum. The free app, developed by the Art Institute using Portland, Oregon-based Meridian's indoor-GPS software, is available from the App Store for Apple devices and from Google Play for Android devices. Its 50 tours are organized into three categories: occasions, themes, and collections. The occasion tours navigate visitors through a first date, family visit, relaxing

Not only are both tightly integrated (unlike what museums typically are doing) but also each offers an array of features not found in any other systems including (particularly germane to your museum) multi-lingual capabilities so that you can support not only English but also multiple Asian languages with no compromises. All the data fields are available in each language, not just a handful as in other systems saying they are multi-lingual. The combination also offers support for shop sales and ticketing. Good luck with your project.
