“The five-year initiative hopes to demonstrate that when art museums collaborate on innovative models for online scholarly catalogues, they will dramatically increase access to their collections, make available new, interdisciplinary research, and potentially revolutionize how object–based research is performed and utilized.” -Getty Web site (consulted 5/1/2012)
Initiated by the Getty Foundation

Defining and Tackling the Issue
Each institution approached their own projects. The Getty physically brought representatives back together at various stages to share problems, results and brainstorm solutions.
![Page 10: Case study in Collaboration: Developing the Online Scholarly Catalogue Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b57a704a795968568b46ff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
KEY: Different Models of Collaboration
There are a lot of different ways to collaborate—it’s not always about people working together on the same project. In this case it’s people working together to think through common issues on similar
projects.
![Page 11: Case study in Collaboration: Developing the Online Scholarly Catalogue Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b57a704a795968568b46ff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
KEY: Different Models of Collaboration
• Built a community around the project• Participating museums could discuss issues
not immediately facing their project, but which they may face in future projects
• Test ones own assumptions in the face of different solutions

The Art Institute OSCI Project
• Highly collaborative cross-departmental, including a senior-level professional staff internally
• Needed to work with a development team open to working with this team to build out our evolving ‘vision’
• Built high level requirements, but needed help in realization
![Page 15: Case study in Collaboration: Developing the Online Scholarly Catalogue Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b57a704a795968568b46ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Developing the Catalogue
Art Institute engaged the IMA Lab to develop an innovative open-source
interface for the OSCI catalogue.
![Page 16: Case study in Collaboration: Developing the Online Scholarly Catalogue Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b57a704a795968568b46ff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
KEY: Everyone brings something to the table
• Senior curatorial, conservation, publications and technology staff with their extraordinary experience and expertise in scholarly research and collection information
• Dedication and commitment to producing and uncompromising beautiful and useful catalogue platform
![Page 17: Case study in Collaboration: Developing the Online Scholarly Catalogue Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b57a704a795968568b46ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
KEY: Everyone brings something to the table
• Visionary technology staff understanding of collections publishing details and able to translate the AIC requirements and aspirations into a technical reality
• Commitment to building tools that enhance the museum community
![Page 18: Case study in Collaboration: Developing the Online Scholarly Catalogue Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b57a704a795968568b46ff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Outcomes
Highly collaborative, iterative, successful
![Page 19: Case study in Collaboration: Developing the Online Scholarly Catalogue Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/54b57a704a795968568b46ff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Outcomes
• The Art Institute catalogue vision comes to life in an online scholarly publishing platform.– Software launched as open source.
• The IMA receives a grant from the Getty Foundation to further extend for other OSCI museums.– OSCI Toolkit: www.oscitoolkit.org
• The museum community, through the Getty Project, has a more sophisticated knowledge and ongoing dialogue about digital scholarly publishing.

KEY: Defined Outcomes for Success
It’s only a success if you got out of it what you needed and what you expected… and hopefully more!

Other benefits
• Professional development extended beyond your own institution
• Leads to more collaborations – AIC working with the IMA Lab on a custom TAP/TourML tool
• Collective expertise to effectively advance our knowledge base
• Fun!
