Re: [MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?

Stefano, thank you for getting this conversation started! I think the convergence of libraries, archives and museums has already been under way for some time, and that a technology-based discussion list like this one is the perfect place for the conversation to continue. Single-purpose lists also

Re: [MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?

Dominic, Thanks for your outstanding report on the activities around interoperability. I agree that CIDOC-CRM is gaining popularity. It is also great to know that there is an OWL serialization for it [1]. How do you see CIDOC-CRM compared to FRBRoo in terms of bridging the gap between

Re: [MCN-L] mcn-l Digest, Vol 123, Issue 12

Hi Eric, Following up the discussion on this list[1], I would like to propose a LAM interoperability SIG and would encourage any interested colleagues to propose themselves as chairs. Is it something that can be accommodated? I know timing is tight! Thanks, Stefano [1]

[MCN-L] Selling tickets from tablets

Good morning, everyone. I have been asked to look into our options for selling tickets using handheld tablets near our entrances. We are hoping to get away from steering everyone to an admissions desk. Is anyone doing this? Can anyone suggest vendors for software and/or hardware? Any

Re: [MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?

Hi Amalyah, Although I have found Google groups very easy to set up and manage, I have no strong opinion on which platform this discussion should be hosted. My main point here is whether we should keep the discussion in the main MCN list or on a separate one. The reason for the latter choice

[MCN-L] OCR Software

Hi, We are beginning a massive digitization project in which we will be scanning thousands of documents. Most will probably be typewritten but definitely will have handwritten documents as well. Anyone out there using OCR software, especially anything that manages handwriting successfully?

Re: [MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?

Dear Stefano, CIDOC CRM is primarily about interoperability (data integration) and it is the semantic framework that it creates that provides this. Once this is solved then you need to provide access that provides a good balance between precision and recall. However, this balance will depend upon

Re: [MCN-L] Selling tickets from tablets

I have been investigating an online ticket sales application called AudienceView with my class at Centennial College this semester. AudienceView is web optimized which allows for sales on tablets, and as part of the optimization also provides for mobile sales and kiosk functionality. In addition,

Re: [MCN-L] Touch screen monitors

Hi Tamsen Sharp makes touch screens up to 80 inches, they have 60 and 70 as well, but not sure about 50 inches. I am not sure how to lock down via the web, but we offer a solution for both Mac and iPad, if you're interested. Thanks! - Brent FlowVella Founder/CEO 811 1st Ave #615 Seattle, WA

Re: [MCN-L] Touch screen monitors

Hi Tamsen, Brian Kennedy touched on this in his MCN talk about ditching Flash based interactives in favor of HTML based ones. In his talk (and maybe he'll chime in here?) he shared this toolkit he built for locking it down so people don't just surf the web/ the device doesn't auto populate

[MCN-L] Touch screen monitors

Hello all, We are looking into purchasing a touchscreen monitor for a web-based interactive component to our exhibition. We are looking for one approximately 50". We'd also need to lock-down the "website". For iPads I do this with a combination of KioskPro and Guided Access. But these are Apple

Re: [MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?

Stefano: The MCN listserv is the perfect place to discuss this. That's what it exists for. Anyone can join, it's open and uncomplicated. Google groups and such are more complicated (rather a pain, in fact, sometimes), and not everyone has the time and patience to log into multiple platforms

Re: [MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?

A little late to the party, but please count The Henry Ford in on discussing LAM interoperability. I touched on some of our efforts to better integrate archival materials with museum objects in my MCN 2015 presentation (link below), and was struck by how many folks responded to that. I had

Re: [MCN-L] Touch screen monitors

I just purchased Secure Lockdown from Inteset. What is nice is it allows me to lock down any single application. So we can use the same program to lock down a browser or a flash application. They do offer a chrome specific version as well to control the chrome settings.
