On Monday 17 April, the 'DataActivityDay' took place in Den Bosch, a platform for conservators and other heritage professionals to collaborate and exchange ideas about managing and presenting heritage collections. How do you ensure that your metadata is in order? How do you make information about heritage visible to as many people as possible? How do you connect your digital collection with other knowledge sources? How do you work with the Terms Network in your system? All questions that were addressed during this day. During this day, Susanne Groendendijk of the Eindhoven Museum presented the collection registration system KLEKSI and showed how she works with the Terms Network within KLEKSI.
Managing and presenting heritage collections is an important part of conservators' work. Registering collections is not only important for preserving the collection, but also for making the information accessible to researchers, students and other interested parties. A good registration system can also help present the collection to the public.
The Term Network is a hierarchical structure of terms used to describe information about heritage collections. By using this structure, conservators can record the information about the collection in a structured way and link it to other sources of knowledge. This makes it easier to find and use information about the collection. Using the Network of Terms is useful not only for curators, but also for the public. It makes it easier for people to find and understand information about the collection. This is especially important at a time when digital collections are becoming increasingly important and provide the opportunity to access heritage collections from all over the world.
During her presentation at the 'DataActivityDay', Susanne Groendendijk showed how she uses the Terms Network within KLEKSI. By applying this method, you can more easily capture information about the collection and link it to other knowledge sources. This also makes it easier to find and use information about the collection. Susanne Groendendijk's presentation on the use of the Terms Network in KLEKSI was a valuable contribution to this day. It shows how using a structured registration system and linking information to other sources of knowledge can help manage and present heritage collections.
It's always great to see people in the heritage world working together and developing new projects to bring history and culture to life for a wider audience. Therefore, we would like to express our gratitude to Susanne Groenendijk of the Eindhoven Museum for presenting and sharing her knowledge and experience with KLEKSI to her colleagues.
