“…They comprise data or information that is highly structured, very unstructured or semi-structured and derived from both authorized and unauthorized sources, and also include multimedia data such as text, images, audio and video data [2]. In order to accommodate the users' needs, many usability-related features need to be implemented [12], but a usability-oriented approach is not the only approach that can help scientists, companies, and schools better understand cultural data. In the world of the Web, the data architecture of digital museum databases is quite diverse and calls for advanced mapping and vocabulary integration.…”

Since the dawn of the new millennium and even earlier, a coordinated effort has been underway to expand the World Wide Web into a machine-readable web of data known as the Semantic Web. The field of art and culture has been one of the most eager to integrate with the Semantic Web, since metadata, data structures, linked-data, e.g., the Getty vocabularies project and the Europeana LOD initiative—and other building blocks of this web of data are considered essential in cataloging and disseminating art and culture-related content. However, art is a constantly evolving entity and as such it is the subject of a vast number of online media outlets and journalist blogs and websites. During the course of the present study the researchers collected information about how integrated the media outlets that diffuse art and culture-related content and news are to the Semantic Web. The study uses quantitative metrics to evaluate a website’s adherence to Semantic Web standards and it proceeds to draw conclusions regarding how that integration affects their popularity in the modern competitive landscape of the Web.

“…Usability index, which represents the total number of usability problems found on a website, divided by the total number of pages investigated on the site, was presented in [30]. The number of websites with the violated heuristic divided by the total number of analysed websites was calculated to compare the quality of the museum websites [29]. Shayganmeh et al [31] stressed that indices (heuristics) described by indicators (sub-heuristics) are able to evaluate wider dimensions of the e-services websites and proposed to employ MCDM theory for the checklist-based comparison of the websites.…”

MULTIMOORA under Interval-Valued Neutrosophic Sets as the Basis for the Quantitative Heuristic Evaluation Methodology HEBIN

et al. 2020

During the last decade, researchers put a lot of effort into the development of the multi-criteria decision methods (MCDM) capable of dealing with the uncertainty and vagueness of the initial information. MCDM approaches that work under the environment of the interval-valued neutrosophic sets (IVNS) demonstrate credibility for the analysis of different opinions as well as for the inconsistency of the criteria evaluation data. The novel multicriteria decision-making approach MULTIMOORA-IVNS (multi-objective optimisation by ratio analysis under interval-valued neutrosophic sets) is presented in this paper. A novel heuristic evaluation methodology HEBIN (heuristic evaluation based on interval numbers) that exploits MULTIMOORA-IVNS for the processing of the evaluation results is also presented in this research. HEBIN is able to increase the accuracy of the checklists-based heuristic evaluation and to diminish the impact of the inconsistencies caused by the evaluators. A comparison of six e-commerce websites is introduced to reveal the practicalities of the proposed multicriteria decision-making application.

“…To embrace the evolving potential of digital environments and multimedia in creating and distributing cultural content, more and more digital museums have been established worldwide to exhibit collections of digitized cultural heritage [ 7 ]. Over the recent two decades, intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has been receiving increasing attention after the UNESCO acknowledged its significance via the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2003 [ 8 ].…”

“…Usability of a digital resource refers to the extent to which the resource meets the users’ needs [ 12 ], also reflecting the quality of user experience [ 13 ]. Usability evaluation is one of the most frequently used tools for assessing how a digital museum supports its users’ needs [ 7 ], offering designers and developers insights into the usefulness of the digital museum and revealing design problems and erroneous elements [ 14 ]. As one of the purposes of memory institutions is educating visitors, it is important to evaluate to what extent a cultural heritage digital museum helps visitors understand this cultural heritage and arouse their interests.…”

Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) such as traditional craftsmanship lacks a physical form and often originates from minority groups with little documentation. Digital technologies can be leveraged for documenting and archiving these assets of humanity. In particular, digital museums are established for promoting public understanding and appreciation of cultural heritage. Despite the richness of ICH in China, the development of digital museums of ICH is still in an early stage and mostly from government endeavours. As part of an inter-disciplinary collaborative project involving academic researchers, information professionals, and a private not-for-profit museum, this paper described the development of Gifts from Lanmama, a digital museum of Miao embroidery as a unique ICH from Guizhou ethnic minorities in China. This paper also reported a preliminary evaluation of the digital museum with 78 users, in terms of its usability and affordance for learning about cultural heritage. Results revealed the strengths of the digital museum in terms of the rigor of metadata and its impact on improving users’ understanding and appreciation of Miao embroidery. Some issues and challenges were also identified, such as the lack of channels for user-system communication. These evaluation results offer insights for further improving the digital museum and other end-user oriented digital presentations of similar ICH.
