Reusable Human and Machine Understandable Content Models for Small Museums and Non Technical Scholars

https://rms.cyi.ac.cy

Humanities scholars and small museums willing to digitize their research projects can accomplish it by using existing open-source platforms and without the need of hiring a computer specialist. However, this process usually involves a steep learning curve and a significant amount of time that generally humanities scholars do not have.
Furthermore, they rarely take the extra step to embed structured data (Semantics) on their online projects, and their research is often stored in isolated data silos.

DrupalCon Barcelona - GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) BoF

A quick heads-up that I've just added a Birds of a Feather session at DrupalCon Barcelona, to discuss Drupal for GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums). If anyone with interest or experience in using Drupal for this is going to be there next week, it'd be great to see you there.

How we do ticketing at the Western Australian Museum

Thought I would post up links to three blog posts about our ticketing system. We use Drupal and CiviCRM for our ticketing system. The blog posts spread over a 3 year period and the system functionality has been improved dramatically over that time.

OCR of older text

Hello,

My organization is looking into using Drupal, so I am very new to this. I have noticed the various modules that would seem very beneficial for us, and one in particular is the OCR (optical character recognition) module for Drupal. My question(s) is has anyone tried out the OCR module on older printed text prior to the mid-nineteenth century, and if so what was your results, and what is your opinion of this module? Are their any other OCR modules that may work within Drupal that are fairly easy to use? I would like to find other options that may be available.
