potential synergies• make collections findable through other

collection management systems– Open Search APIs, OAI-PMH harvesting, ...

• set up instances of pathway tool for more museums– enrich/enhance the educational community around

the Web site• use virtual cloud infrastructure for smaller

institutions• ...more?
