Data and Information in Online Environments
The Brazilian Institute of Museums - Ibram, began the process of disseminating its museum collections on the web, through the Tainacan software, a result of the Collection Platform Project, carried out in partnership with the Federal University of Goiás and the University of Brasília. With the project’s developments, a new information service is under study, the creation of Brasiliana Museums, an aggregator of cultural digital objects from museums managed by Ibram, which aims to offer a single search and data retrieval interface. Beyond that aggregator it is possible developed another new service, a dashboard for Ibram’s managers, very important for an analytical thinking through graphical interfaces. This research this is configured as a case study, because is aimed at solving Ibram’s data aggregation problem, in addition to being a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research. This paper aims to present the development process of Brasiliana Museums and a dashboard, highlighting the technological tools used: 1, mapping origin museums; 2, automated collection of items the collections; 3, aggregation of collections and data transformation; 4, submission of items to Tainacan; 5, data integrate storage; 6, dashboard development and; 7, publication of the aggregated collections for the search and recovery of Brazilian museum items. The main technologies used in the prototype was the Elastic Stack, the new plugin, developed in Ruby programing language, and the Tainacan repository software. This result is the aggregation than more 17 thousand objects from 20 Ibram’s museums, that allow in single interface to search and retrieve digital Brazilian museum items. The prototyping of the service reveals itself, therefore, as an efficient solution, both from the point of view of socialization and dissemination of digital objects and in the monitoring and monitoring of information from the collections through analytical panels. In addition to presenting a cheap and viable technological solution to be implemented.
