Digital FactsProject goals: To develop a system that could be implemented for the structural gathering of digital heritage data (production output + costs). To gather statistical data that would give policy makers an insight into the currently available digital heritage and the investment that has taken place.
Number of objects + Objects digitized + Digitization expenditure
Museums = 41 / 775 (science, art and history, other)Libraries = 21 / 699 (National, public, special, scientific, research centers)Archives = 38 / 329AV = 2 / 3 Combined institutions = 11 Monuments and archaeological sites = 0 / 50,700,000Total Digital Facts responses = 128

Data gathering strategies:
Self-registration
UofO 2009-11-10
Dutch experience
2007 NLD estimates for museums:(DEN 2008, NMV 2007, MusIP 2007)
Registered there is a record of the object = 83%
Automated the recorded object is in digital format = 57% Digitized there is a digital image of the object = 37% Documented the object has context information = 34-54%Online information about the object can be found online = 31%

Dutch experience
What the numbers say:
There is no homogenous concept for digitization
Registration + Image + Context (documentation + stories)
Production process involves different people / institutions
Sector differences are based on object characteristicsMissing culture of accountabilityNeed for comparable data measures

Managing localMuseums: Digital activities influencing work practice
• Data analysisLimited systems (paper cards/acquisitions log book) Flexible content
and format for innovative documentation of knowledge

• Time + PlaceLimited on-site local access 24/7 access

• Democratization of productionCurator owned objects Knowledge is made by use and reuse of
information

• StandardsEach curator had own system Effort to adopt international standards
of process, format and language

• CostsAll work was manual Labor cost remain high. Production depends on
goals, use, object type, partners…. Objects are revalued

Managing localInforming local strategy:
Planning: strategic pragmatic approach to productionInformation plan + Digitization plan + Project
Production: phasesBroad registration + Selected contextualization (events approach)
Resources: ongoing in entire organization
Technical: Centralized connection to personalized applications
Internal: Revision of past practice (production, standards, organization, content, users, financial, role in society)
External: Collaboration ! secure access to digital collections to guarantee use of heritage content
UofO 2009-11-10
Managing localInforming local strategy per sector:
Museums: comparative productivity lag(Gemeente Den Haag specialized site, Naturalis whale watching database site)
Libraries: shared collections(Scientific libraries benchmarking, Dutch Art History Libraries Society inventory)
Archives: digitization on demand(National Archive image database, Amsterdam City Archive)
AV: social curating(10voor12 sound collection, use of YouTube)
Monuments: videogames, computerized visualization(What? Was? Where? Project, use of GoogleEarth)
