Tate Online, the Web site for Britain’s Tate art galleries, serves as a good case study for exploring the issue of meeting international site visitors’ multilingual needs. The site contains a great deal of material that is of international interest; however, much of this is currently accessible only in English. The present study used a variety of methods to gather a set of requirements and recommendations for providing enhanced multilingual content on Tate Online. These included a competitor analysis, on-line survey of 457 Tate Online visitors, log file analysis, machine translation resource evaluation, and basic user test.

The overarching research theme takes two developments into account: first, the incorporation of recent trends to collocate digital media and objects in museum exhibitions, and second, the increasingly important role attributed to museums as places of life-long learning. These two strands and the possibilities to combine them are examined in an effort to enhance our understanding of learning opportunities in museum exhibitions.

Education and Culture: Editorial: Nine Wonders of Intangible Her

UNESCO, incidentally, refused to participate, perhaps because of a potential conflict with the World Heritage list of 851 “properties”. UNESCO is of course correct in recognizing that there are far more than seven locations in the world that deserve protection as unique elements of mankind’s natural and cultural heritage. However, there is also value in recognizing that there is a much smaller number of sites of more transcendental importance. Each of the seven wonders is – in my opinion as well as that of the general public – a more important element of man’s heritage than the average of the 851 sites listed by UNESCO.

UNESCO makes occasional proclamations of “Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity”, creating thereby a list of such “masterpieces”. The three proclamations to date have together identified 90 “masterpieces”. Concluding Remarks: Culture is often misunderstood. Archives & Museum Informatics: Museums and the Web 2008: Wor.

HobbyPrincess: On museums and web 2.0. Some time ago Virtueel Platform organized a workshop called Take Away Museum to discuss new emerging ways to engage people in conversations with exhibited artwork and artifacts. The central question was: what is Web 2.0 for museums? In general there seem to be four basic ways for organizing the relationship between an exhibited artifact and a museum visitor. The simplest one is the basic visit to a museum: we buy the ticket at the entrance, go in, take a tour, perhaps an audio guide, follow the arrows, read the texts beside the works, and that's about it. Let's call this reactive consumption. When we make an effort to search information about the exhibition or the artists beforehand, we are moving towards some sort of proactive consumption.

Even young Web users go straight to grown-up Google, whether for pleasure or school projects. This ideas paper explores how cultural Web publishers might publish content in new ways in this search-dominated world. We need to build digital culture that lives in Google-land, as well as on a good old-fashioned Web site with walls, navigation and a loyal audience. The popularity of RSS and Web 2.0 means we have the opportunity now to develop new ways to publish on-line: to use semantic tagging, to make clusters of related cultural content 'hang together' in search engine results.

Developed using the forthcoming Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), iAKS is intended to be a flexible data entry, data archiving, and data visualization system appropriate for use in a wide variety of archaeological settings.

Ultimately iAKS is designed to leverage the strengths of Adobe AIR and other Web service technologies in order to bypass many of the problems associated traditional field archaeological data management and data interoperability.
