Centralised repository for all collections and non-collections based digital resources including object photography, exhibition and installation photography, video and audio archives, event images and videography and publications. We make life simple for each department in the museum to manage their specific digital content. Some key features for Musem’s include:
Piction integrates with key museum systems including Collection Management Systems, Web Content Management Systems, Library Systems, Membership and Financial Systems. Piction provides many methods for integrating with systems ranging from out of the box data mapping through web services and database level APIs. We have integrated with systems such as:
The Piction metadata engine supports many standards including Dublin core, XMP, EXIF, IPTC, CDWA, and VRA. More importantly, institutions are able to dynamically create their own schemata and mix with other standards. We support many metadata types including variable characters, dates, keywords, spatial, numeric, scientific, multimedia and direct query links. Additionally, we support museum specific metadata such as accession number, repeating fields, and object relationships types.
Piction’s workflow engine provides significant benefit, which enhances the museum’s digital workflow. Through the many years of working with museums, we have templates that support core workflows for museums including:
These supported workflows are completely end to end and are designed to span multiple sections in a Museum. Each section involved within the workflow have their own dashboard which enable a view of assigned tasks and due dates.
With Piction, museums are able to distribute content of any type to different channels and easily publish content to the web, mobile applications, or social media. Piction can distribute the correct data set and digital file type. We also provide an overarching method for relating disparate sets of data for publication.
