eMuseum Benefits

As simple as checking a box
eMuseum lets you publish your collection to the web in a matter of hours, so virtual visitors can start exploring almost immediately. The benefits don’t stop there. With eMuseum, you’ll enjoy:

Fast, simple and affordable web maintenance. Because eMuseum works dynamically with your collection management system, it eliminates the need for costly, repeated extractions of data. That means less time and money spent on website maintenance and updates.
Interactive presentations of your collection. eMuseum can integrate with third-party interactive tools such as Flash. Links to sound files let the visitor explore the collection through a director’s tour or an artist interview. You can also provide 3-D views of sites and objects, as well as detailed imaging through Zoomify technology.
Multi-level access control. Assign secure levels of access to your Intranet by staff-member role: curator, director, registrar, and rights manager among others.
More than just collections. eMuseum posts more than just collection information to the web; it can post content from multiple systems and channels. eMuseum can be configured to draw information directly from external resources, such as your library or archives data.
Targeted communication. eMuseum’s profiles allow you to customize your site for multiple languages and various audiences such as general visitors, school groups and researchers. You can target a profile’s specific interests without spending money on expensive custom programming.
Related information. Object record web pages display biographical information about the object’s maker, in addition to thumbnail images of related objects and archives. Visitors can also view the exhibition history of a particular object. The best part is that you define the record relationships that make sense for your collection.
Standards and Accessibility. eMuseum creates web pages that comply with common web standards, including WAI/WCAG accessibility. Using web standards guarantees that all of your users can view your collections information.

eMuseum uses such standard technologies as ODBC, HTML, XML, and XSL. Through ODBC, eMuseum works with a variety of database types, including MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle and SQL Anywhere ASA.
