The Challenges of Metadata
ORGANISATIONAL
pre-2007
Integrated responsabilitieswithin curatorial departmentsregarding information / data management
ORGANISATIONAL
Separated responsabilitiesbetween curatorial & supporting departments
2007 Collection Management
Conservation
2016 Research Services
AUTOMATION & REGISTRATION
1980 First computer in the museum
1989 First modem, terminal & automated
library system (TinLib)
1990 Collection registration in automatedcollection management systems (Quixis 1990-1998; Adlib 1998-now)
Geert-Jan Koot with first modem & terminal Rijksmuseum (1989)
Olivetti M24 (1989)
REGISTRATION & DIGITIZATION
2007 - Mass digitization complete RMA collection
(Print Room/Collection) Online Project
Registration through acquisition
SCALING UP - NETWORK POWER
1999 First Rijksmuseum website
2002 First online library catalogue (OPAC) + first open data exports via Z39.50 > SRU
2005 CHIP project NWO/CATCH – reseach program(personalization using semantic data)
Part of the CHIP data model
Museum renovation/restoration, closed 2003-2013
Re-opening of the museum (2013)
AND DURING THAT TIMETHE INTERNET
HAPPENEDEXPLODED
The Yellow Milkmaid Syndrome
Regaining controlby sharing
Knowledge needs to be shared

RESEARCH SERVICES CHALLENGES
To name but a few ….
• Overcome ‘death by silo’
• Interdisciplinary co-operation
• New additional information services
• Renewed sustainable data architecture
• Extended open data strategy
• Interoperable, networked (semantic), open
From a closed library to an open collection data space
