Displaying open cultural collections. Design guidelines for cultural content aggregators.
This work investigates classification systems and interface solutions that may foster the access and the use of digitised cultural objects on cultural content aggregators. The research has been conducted according to a research through design approach. The best practices for designing classification systems and interface solutions are based on an in-depth analysis of existing aggregators and the development of an interface prototype, which is validated by the primary stakeholders.
The results show that facilitating the access and the use of cultural objects does not require only technological advancement, but also a shift in the way the cultural content aggregator is intended. It no longer has the mere function of a searchable database, but it is acquiring the role of a research and dissemination assistant.
The thesis presents the results as design guidelines based on the OpenGLAM principles listed by the Open Knowledge Foundation and the European Community - a set of guidelines that aim to support the release of open contents. The design guidelines aim to provide designers with a tool which could support them in the whole design process, including the design of the information architecture and interface elements for using and sharing content.
