Artify
Explore the collection in a new, interessting way
You have to find objects, which have similar metadata and try to match them. The displayed objects are (semi-)randomly selected from a dataset (eg. from SNM). From the metadata of the starting object, the app will search for three other objects:
- One which matches in 2+ metadata tags
- One which matches in 1 metadata tag
- One which is completly random.
If you choose the right one, the app will display three new objects accordingly to the way explained above.
Tags used from the datasets:
- OBJEKT Klassifikation (x)
- OBJEKT Webtext
- OBJEKT Datierung (x)
- OBJEKT → Herstellung (x)
- OBJEKT → Herkunft (x)
(x) = used for matching
To Do
- Datasets are too divers; in some cases there is no match. Datasets need to be prepared.
- The tag “Klassifikation” is too specific
- The tags “Herstellung” and “Herkunft” are often empty or not consistent.
- The gaming aspect needs to be implemented
Use case
There are various cases, where the app could be used. It mainly depends on the datasets you use:
- Explore hidden objects of a museum collection
- Train students to identify art periods
- Find connections between museums, which are not obvious (e.g. art and historical objects)
