The virtual museum is an advanced system managing diverse collections of digital objects that are organized in various ways by a complex specialized functionality. The management of digital content requires a well-designed architecture that embeds services for content presentation, management, and administration. All elements of the system architecture are interrelated, thus the accuracy of each element is of great importance. These systems suffer from the lack of tools for intelligent data curation with the capacity to validate data from different sources and to add value to data. This paper proposes a solution for intelligent data curation that can be implemented in a virtual museum in order to provide opportunity to observe the valuable historical specimens in a proper way. The solution is focused on the process of validation and verification to prevent the duplication of records for digital objects, in order to guarantee the integrity of data and more accurate retrieval of knowledge.

Encyclopaedia slavica sanctorum (eslavsanct.net) is designed as a complex heterogenous multimedia product. It is part of the project Encyclopaedia Slavica Sanctorum: Saints and Holy Places in Bulgaria (in electronic and Guthenberg versions). Until 2013, its web-based platform for online management and presentation of structured digital content has been prepared and numerous materials have been input. The platform is developed using the server technologies PHP, MySQL and HTML, JavaScript, CSS on the client side. The search in the e-ESS can be made by different parameters (12, or combinations of parameters), such as saints’ or feasts’ names, type of sainthood, types of texts dedicated to the sain ts, dates of saints’ commemorations, and several others. Both guests and registered users can search in the e-ESS but the latter have access to much more information including the publications of original sources. The e-platform allows for making statistics of what have been searched and read. The software used for content and access analysis is BI tool QlikView. As an analysis services provider, it is connected to the e-ESS objects repository and tracking services by a preliminary created data warehouse. The data warehouse is updated automatically, achieving real time analytics solution. The paper discusses some of the statistics results of the use of the e-ESS: the activities of the editors, users, and guests, the types of searches, the most often viewed object, such as the date of January 1 and the article on St. Basil the Great which is one of the richest encyclopaedia articles and includes both matadata and original sources published, both from medieval Slavonic manuscripts and popular culture records.

“…The software implementation of the electronic encyclopedia is developed by specialists at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (see [8]). The development is based on the experience and studies of the medievalists participating in the project and mostly of Iskra Hristova-Shomova and Marija Yovcheva (for bibliography, see [8]). publications of original folklore records (mostly narratives) for saints.…”

This paper discusses the variety of the digitized content of an electronic encyclopedia on the veneration of saints according to Bulgarian sources. The emphasis is on medieval Slavonic Church manuscripts and on present-day records of Bulgarian folklore narratives and songs. The combination of these sources provokes discussion of the so-called folklore Christianity and adds new dimensions to the understanding of the role of the cults of saints for culture and of the religiosity of the Bulgarians.
