| Summary: | Multimedia is one of the much talked fenomena in the field of information
technology. CUlTently, vast amount of multimedia content are created for multiple
purposes pariicularly to convey information effectively. Cultural heritage domain is
also benefited from multimedia teclmology where multimedia content is used for
depicting tangible and intangible ariefacts and for infonnation dissemination.
However, the vast amount of multimedia especially in the cultural heritage domain
needed a special data model to cater the need of both collection management and
digital multimedia content. There are finished and cUlTently active research activities
regarding multimedia database for cultural heritage application tlu·oughout the world
especially in Europe. The problem is there is no research has been done in the local
context especially in the field of multimedia database application in the cultural
heritage domain. There are also no data model that support both information of
cultural heritage and multimedia data in the local context. The intention of this
research is to design a data model for multimedia database of cultural heritage
artefact management as well as tries to fill the gap of cultural heritage dan
multimedia database research in the context of Malaysia. A multiple case studies is
conducted to gather information and requirements from the local museums governing
organizations. Literature study also conducted to gain information regarding the
guidelines, standards and reference models which is relevant to this research. From
the requirements gathering as well as literature reviews, the logical and physical data
for multimedia database of Malaysia cultural heritage ariefacts management was
designed and modelled. The data model employ a hybrid of museum metadata
standard known as ISO 21127:2006 or CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM)
and multimedia database standards known as MPEG-7. This research also employ a
model developed by Jane Hunter (2002) where combination between CRM and
MPEG-7 for describing multimedia in museums is made possible. |
