Re: [MCN-L] Is your Content Management System headless?
Hi Mark, We recently developed an in gallery exhibit for the Museums maritime archelogy collection using a Drupal 8 + Gatsby JS + Reactive Search set up. The database has around 16k objects with ~20 variable fields on each object and multiple object images that can be over 50MB. I think redeveloping the primary site and the collections, a progressively decoupled Drupal site is most viable. With Drupal doing most the work, but having the option to be used as a repository or API endpoint to create more tailored experiences. Happy to discuss any questions.

Re: [MCN-L] GDPR Compliance
Hey Brian Congrats on your PCI compliance. We also completed our PCI compliance in 2017 and are fully certified. I know what a tall order it is to achieve full certification. There definitely are some parallels with GDPRThe real challenge here seems to be giving the customer 100% control of her/his personal data and knowing where you have it. Right now we have over a half dozen systems that could contain personal information that may fall under GDPR regulations. While we are working towards a single customer database, that’s a few years out. GDRP is really going to push us to develop some bridging practices to be compliant through this period - being able to send customers all the data we have on them as well as allow them to request deletion of all their personal data in each of these systems. That’s going to be a challenge. We’re just getting started so please share what you have learned and the strategy you are taking.

My understanding is that quantity of transactions does not matter. The main
concern is security and customer control of any stored personal information on

[MCN-L] Draft Museum Net Neutrality Advocacy Text
Hi – Here is the text we have placed on our intranet site to inform our staff about this legislation and encourage their advocacy. Best, Scott -- Title/Subject: Have your voice heard on the future of Net Neutrality – July 17th deadline The FCC is in the process of changing the rules regarding net neutrality in a way that could have a negative impact on individuals and organizations that develop, deliver and access web content, particularly rich media (video, audio and large images, etc.). While the long-term implications of eliminating net neutrality are unclear, this change will allow internet service providers “ISP” like (Spectrum, ComCast, ATT, Verizon, etc.) to give bandwidth preferences (speed of access) to content of their choice (programming from which they generate revenue); currently all content is given equal bandwidth. For organizations like museums, Implications could be limited bandwidth for accessing our online resources or having to pay ISPs to maintain our current level of delivery and access. Implications for consumers could be new limitations placed on the speed and quality with which different sources of content are delivered based on their ISP. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is taking public comments on this change through July 17th. The Museum will be submitting comments to the FCC and a letter to our representatives supporting the continuation of current Net Neutrality law. Individuals are encouraged to share their thoughts with the FCC Via https://dearfcc.org/ You are also encouraged to voice your opinion with your local representatives prior to the early August vote. Senators https://www.senate.gov/general/contacting.htm <https://www.senate.gov/general/contacting.htm> Representatives http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ <http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/> If you would like to learn more about this potential change there are many articles available on the web.

[MCN-L] It's a New Fiscal Year and Our Last Chance to Save the Docent Educator Journal
The Museum-Ed Kickstarter campaign to digitize, preserve and share 12 years of issues of the now defunct Docent Educator Journal only has 4 days left and we remain a little under $5,000 short of the $12,000 goal to fund the project. This is likely to be the last chance we have as a community to preserve this valuable resource and you and your museum's support is critical in making this happen. Our campaign offers a wide range of rewards from credits to eBook versions and a bound compendium of all issues. Any contribution will be helpful and the quickest way to reach our goal is for your museum's library to pledge $250 for a bound set. This is the final opportunity to contribute to this important campaign. Please click to contribute now. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1857877564/the-docent-educator-online Many thanks in advance, Scott Sayre Editor, Museum-Ed
[MCN-L] Help us digitize and share the Docent Educator Journal
Dear MCN Colleagues, We need your help with really important Kickstarter project. Museum-Ed has launched a project to digitize all 12 years of The Docent Educator, a publication designed for museum docents and the educators who work with them, with articles written by leaders in our field. This content is still timely, and if we don?t do the important work of digitizing The Docent Educator, all of that great content will be lost to our field for good. Let?s not let that happen. Here?s what you can do to help. Even though you can make a contribution to the Kickstarter campaign (we?d love it if you did), what would really help is for you to get your library and docents involved. For a $250 contribution to the campaign, we?ll send you (your library or museum) a hard-bound volume of every page of the entire 12 years of The Docent Educator. What a great resource to add to your museum education library, whether it lives in your museum?s library, docent lounge or your office. We have three weeks left to raise just under $10,000, and if we don?t raise that amount, we get nothing. Learn more about the project at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1857877564/the-docent-educator-online. Together we can all make a difference in archiving the history of our field. Thanks in advance for your help, and please don?t hesitate to write to me if you have questions, etc. Scott Sayre Ed.D. Editor, Museum-Ed scott at museum-ed.org

[MCN-L] Walking Tours via mobile web
Jim, Thanks much. I should have mentioned the Cold Spring App is reskinnable/repurposeable. We didn't do a CMS because all one does is edit .json files for any user content. But Mapillary sounds interesting. Can I assume you hang interpretive content off the images? Will take a look for sure.

The www.Mapillary.com service is a free iOS/Android app that essentially does Streetview for the Rest of Us by providing an easy-to-use free app to capture images that are then contributed, in effect as Open Data streetview lite images to www.OpenStreetMap.org. (The really cool and important thing here is that a Mapillarian can go places with a smartphone in hand -- like on a MusTech walking tour, for example -- where a Google-powered Streetview car does not. So something like a walking tour app is a natural for Mapillary.) Once you capture images, you can curate them, etc. to get what you want as good as can be, and then they fly off your smartphone or tablet and become part of this growing Open Data repository. Now, the cool thing as far as we MusTech folk are concerned, is there is a simple API for developers: http://www.mapillary.com/developer.html So, in effect, you can off-load to Mapillary all the complexity of capturing and serving geo-based images within your walking tour app. This is a brilliant Malmo Sweden-based startup. The backend is an insanely sophisticated computer-vision and graph database (Neo4j) platform that powers the whole thing. The main developer support contact is the wonderful Peter Neubauer (via Twitter @peterneubauer or @mapillary) who is also a co-founding exec at Neo4j. Whatever the API may not provide at the moment would likely be no problem. The Mapillary folks are very interested in working with developers who have specific use cases for using this amazing service they are creating. (We know this because've got a handful of exciting Mapillary-based #Play2Learn games in early design and development.) Hope this info is useful to you and others. BTW, I'll point Peter to this conversation and he may want to contribute additional information or solicit collaboration with MusTech folks interested in exploring GLAM applications, etc. EVEN BETTER of interest to our community, I don't have the details but have heard talk of Mapillary supporting history pics -- that is, old photos (hopefully paired with current ones shot from the same POV) that have become part of the geo-location based repository of Open Street Map images. A feature like this -- especially if coupled with fine-grained API access -- would be especially useful for historical walking tours, etc. Happy-Healthy Vibes, --Jim Salmons-- www.FactMiners.org www.SoftalkApple.com -Original Message- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu] On Behalf Of Scott Guerin Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2014 12:34 PM To: 'Museum Computer Network Listserv' Subject: Re: [MCN-L] Walking Tours via mobile web Robin, We just finished www.foundrytour.org.

[MCN-L] Museum DAMS Research Survey - Share and Receive
---Please forgive any cross-postings.--- Dear Colleagues. I am currently working with funding from the non-profit Artstor to conduct a short survey on the current state of digital asset management DAM in museums. The purpose of this research is two-fold; 1) to develop and share a profile of DAM in museums today and; 2) to research the relevancy of Artstor's media management software Shared Shelf program in relation to museum DAM needs. The results of research survey will be shared with all participants who provide their email addresses after completing the survey and will also be presented during a session at the Museum Computer Network conference this Fall (http://wired.ivvy.com/event/MCN13/agenda). The survey contains between 15-22 questions (depending upon your responses), is organized into 5 sections and should take under 15 minutes to complete. Because of the somewhat ubiquitous nature of digital asset management, the survey is targeted at anyone who shares any knowledge or ownership of the process including librarians, visual resource specialists, photographers, registrars, new media and publications managers, information technologists and others. If you receive this invitation and feel there is someone better suited to responding, please forward it to them. The deadline for completing the survey is Friday, November 1st. I would greatly appreciate your input and look forward to sharing the overall findings with you. The survey can be accessed at http://sandboxstudios.org/dams Many thanks in advance, Scott Sayre Ed.D. scott at sandboxstudios.org 612?423?9691

[MCN-L] Quartz Composer
Greetings All, I was wondering if anyone has been using Quartz Composer. I am looking for a developer. Many Thanks, Scott Hisey Director of Design and Dissemination Cincinnati Art Museum 953 Eden Park Drive Cincinnati, OH 45202 513.639.2950 513.639.2888fax www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org
[MCN-L] mac vs. pc (Scott Hisey)
Greetings all, I am happy to have found the MCN list serve! On the point regarding Mac vs. PC, I had a few thoughts based from our experiences at the Cincinnati Art Museum. If your institution is PC based, as most are, you might want to consider sticking with the PC at least for the first phase of your digitization project. Photoshop, Lightroom, scanning software, etc., will all run just as well on a PC, provided it is set up properly. The other advantage is that you can reap the benefits of technical support from your IT department. After you scan your 6000 photographs, you might find issue with the PC imaging workstation and make the jump to Apple. If you do invest in Apple equipment, I would highly suggest purchasing a tower rather than the 24 imac. You will have more flexibility in the future with regards to adding RAM or other hardware. I also am not a fan of the IMAC's display for color critical work. As far as image file compatibility, this is really a non issue, provided you implement an appropriate file naming convention. Be careful with the external hard drive storage. Be sure to create some redundancy and I would back everything up on a set of external hard drives that remain offline and unplugged. Hard drives fail when they run continuously. Think of your imaging workstation as just that. If you go with Apple, you will still be producing TIFF image files. This is a published, non proprietary file format and you will be able to open most file formats on either machine. If you are the only Apple user in the building the burden of operating system and software upgrades is solely on your department budget. Good Luck, Scott Hisey Head of Photographic Services Cincinnati Art Museum 953 Eden Park Drive Cincinnati, OH 45202 513.639.2874 scott.hisey at cincyart.org http://www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org
[MCN-L] GIS in museums
Yes, our experience with Tilty Tables (with a zoom axis, whereupon they are called Twisty or Spinny Tables) would indicate that they serve as a very visitor-friendly interface to all sorts of map-based datasets. Take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl8OCg3Xoe4 and/or http://www.onomy.com/blue/tilty.html to get a flavor. In some of our installations, GIS shapefile layers (points/line/polygons) are employed to let users explore particular topics (e.g., zoning information for planning departments, country and state boundaries, landmarks and parks, streets and highways, waterways, etc.). These are all rendered at run-time, so the overlays can be very current, and their appearance can be customized. In our latest Spinny Table, down in San Luis Potosi (a spin-out of the Papalote Children's Museum), we've also incorporated hotspots with authored text/image overlays that appear when users zoom into particular places on the maps. We're also doing a collaborative piece with artist JD Beltran where youth author stories about their community that will be anchored on the maps at the places where they occurred. The Tilty Table interactive (in all its variants) has proven to be very popular in every venue where it's been deployed. Visitors spend lots of time with it because of the appealing physical UI, and you can sneak all kinds of content their way while you have them mesmerized. ;-) Unlike Matt, a satisfied customer, I do have a financial interest in promoting the proliferation of these tables, but Matt's unsolicited message opened the door.

[MCN-L] videos in exhibits
You might also want to do a search on solid state video player -- some of these devices are quite inexpensive these days, have no mechanical bits to wear out, and do exactly what you want. Using a general-purpose computer like a Mac Mini will certainly do the trick, but your sites might be more comfortable with something that does less (less of a theft magnet, fewer maintenance issues). I've used the dZine SSVP with good results, and I think Mirraden and RemoteMedia have more recent offerings. Most of these devices have various means for creating simple menu systems with touchscreens and/or buttons.

New Museum-Ed Web site and discussion list
Museum-Ed is pleased to announce the launch of the Museum-Ed Web site at http://www.museum-ed.org, a resource designed to support and build on the Museum-Ed Discussion List. Museum-Ed is a not-for-profit Web site dedicated to providing museum educators opportunities to ask questions, to exchange ideas, to explore current issues, to share resources, to reflect on experiences, and to inspire new directions in museum education. Museum-Ed is not a membership organization. All of the resources on the Museum-Ed Web site are free and available to educators in any type of museum, and anyone interested in the field of museum education. The History of Museum-Ed Museum-Ed began as a discussion list created in response to an Education Committee (EDCOM) luncheon at the 1995 American Association of Museums Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. At the luncheon, museum educators expressed a need to create a network for the easy exchange of information. With that goal in mind, the Museum-Ed Discussion List was created by Kris Wetterlund and Larisa Somsel. In 2003 the list was upgraded and moved to the Museum-Ed Web site to provide additional support and services. In the future we hope to publish research and reproduce articles and reports, to include a database of museum education resources, information and links about related sites, funding opportunities and services. Our goal is to provide all of this to everyone who is interested at no charge, without any passwords or log-ins. We hope the site will be used and contributed to by all museum educators.
