[Dspace-general] DSpace for Museums

[Joachim Räth]

Dear DSpace community,

does anybody out there deploy DSpace as an IR in the museum field?

If you have to report advantages and disadvantages of using DSpace in  
the context of the Arts, I would be quite interested in as many  
details as possible. Your answers will influence the decision-making  
process of a network of German museums contemplating the use of DSpace  
for their needs.

There are two questions of special importance:

1) In which way do the DC elements adapt to the description of objets  
d'art?

2) And to which format (e.g. CDWA Lite) are you mapping for metadata  
harvesting?

You may reply directly to my email adress at  
j.raeth(at)stadtteilgeschichten.net

If anyone takes interest in some kind of resumee, I would be glad to  
provide you with.


Thank you in advance

Joachim Raeth
