“…Digital curation is the activity of collecting electronic material, transferring it into digital format and storing it in a database for reuse (Sabharwal, 2015; Kenfield et al , 2022). In principle, DH data management consists of seven steps: 1) data acquisition; 2) assessment and selection of data; 3) data storage; 4) data maintenance; 5) metadata design; 6) data access plan; and 7) data reuse (Tenopir et al , 2020).…”

“…DH data curation activities in institutional repositories can be strengthened by the support of various other parties, and the commitment of parent agencies, curators, librarians and archivists is generally needed to build adequate repository infrastructure and facilities (Tammaro et al , 2019). According to Sabharwal (2015), data curation takes in librarians and archivists protecting artifacts in museums and rare books in libraries through repair, contextualization and presentation, as well as digital archiving processes that relate to accessibility of research data.…”

Purpose This study aims to identify the readiness of institutional repositories in Indonesia to implement digital humanities (DH) data curation. Data curation is a method of managing research data that maintains the data’s accuracy and makes it available for reuse. It requires controlled data management. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through a focus group discussion in September–October 2022, interviews and document analysis. The informants came from four institutions in Indonesia. Findings The findings reveal that the national research repository has implemented data curation, albeit not optimally. Within the case study, one of the university repositories diligently curates its humanities data and has established networks extending to various ASEAN countries. Both the national archive repository and the other university repository have implemented rudimentary data curation practices but have not prioritized them. In conclusion, the readiness of the national research repository and the university repository stand at the high-capacity stage, while the national archive repository and the other university repository are at the established and early stages of data curation, respectively. Research limitations/implications This study examined only four repositories due to time constraints. Nonetheless, the four institutions were able to provide a comprehensive picture of their readiness for DH data curation management. Practical implications This study provides insight into strategies for developing DH data curation activities in institutional repositories. It also highlights the need for professional development for curators so they can devise and implement stronger ownership policies and data privacy to support a data-driven research agenda. Originality/value This study describes the preparations that must be considered by institutional repositories in the development of DH data curation activities.

“…A relatively large number of articles, namely five, appeared in 2014, but four of these were published in the International Journal of Digital Curation. In 2006, 2009, 2013and 2015 were published exclusively in one journal. In the remaining years, articles were only published in two of the journals (Table 2).…”

“…In describing digital curation to the point of view of specialists from the Digital Curation Centre can be quoted, who note that it ‘involves maintaining, preserving and adding value to digital research data throughout its lifecycle’ (Digital Curation Centre, n.d.). Digital curation can also be seen as a ‘practical framework for preserving and promoting humanities and scientific data and digital objects in cultural heritage collections’ (Sabharwal, 2015: 25). Moreover, as Lee and Tibbo (2007) wrote, ‘[d]igital curation extends far beyond repository control and involves paying attention to content creators and future users’.…”

The changing conditions in which LAM institutions operate require constant monitoring of the development of solutions dedicated to different forms of their activities. This article aims at an analysis of the literature related to LAM institutions on open-source software used in digital curation. The undertaken research was an attempt to check the interest in this issue in publications registered in the BASE multi-search database. The research material collected during library searches was analysed using simple bibliometric methods. Based on literature analysis, this paper indicates a growing interest in digital curation in LAM institutions in the context of open-source software. The first publications on this subject recorded in the BASE database date back to 2005. Since then, the number of different publication types has been growing steadily, including in particular conference proceedings and journal articles. An increasing number of authors interested in digital curation associated with many institutions from around the world has also been recorded. The analysis of the material also allowed us to identify various applications available under open-source licences. The article provides an opportunity to look at the changes occurring in the analysed body of literature. It presents leading authors publishing works related to digital curation. It also identifies the most popular software described over 16 years. It provides a comprehensive description of topics and the structure of literature on open-source software used in digital curation. The described analysis results can be a contribution to in-depth research and a set of solutions for practitioners.

A Holistic Approach for Enhancing Museum Performance and Visitor Experience

Managing modern museum content and visitor data analytics to achieve higher levels of visitor experience and overall museum performance is a complex and multidimensional issue involving several scientific aspects, such as exhibits’ metadata management, visitor movement tracking and modelling, location/context-aware content provision, etc. In related prior research, most of the efforts have focused individually on some of these aspects and do not provide holistic approaches enhancing both museum performance and visitor experience. This paper proposes an integrated conceptualisation for improving these two aspects, involving four technological components. First, the adoption and parameterisation of four ontologies for the digital documentation and presentation of exhibits and their conservation methods, spatial management, and evaluation. Second, a tool for capturing visitor movement in near real-time, both anonymously (default) and eponymously (upon visitor consent). Third, a mobile application delivers personalised content to eponymous visitors based on static (e.g., demographic) and dynamic (e.g., visitor movement) data. Lastly, a platform assists museum administrators in managing visitor statistics and evaluating exhibits, collections, and routes based on visitors’ behaviour and interactions. Preliminary results from a pilot implementation of this holistic approach in a multi-space high-traffic museum (MELTOPENLAB project) indicate that a cost-efficient, fully functional solution is feasible, and achieving an optimal trade-off between technical performance and cost efficiency is possible for museum administrators seeking unfragmented approaches that add value to their cultural heritage organisations.
