[Sigia-l] Online display of art collections

[mmisner at nypl.org]

We are currently testing Omeka, a product in private beta, to develop the 
library's exhibitions.  Omeka uses the Dublin Core metadata structure.
http://omeka.org/

A little more about the project: 
http://labs.nypl.org/labs-projects/exhibits/

Art museums are involved in a social tagging experiment:

The Indianapolis Museum of Art displays tags added by visitors.  Here is 
an example: http://www.imamuseum.org/explore/artwork/493?highlight=196

Hope this is useful,
Michelle
