VELASCO REYES, Gloria Donají et al. Using the Object ID Standard and Tainacan Software for Museum Documentation: experiences from Brazil and Mexico. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.23, pp.258-303.  Epub Sep 26, 2022. ISSN 2007-249X.  https://doi.org/10.30763/intervencion.247.v1n23.26.2021.

This academic report describes the implementation process of the Object ID standard using Tainacan, a free open-source software which included four museological institutions from different countries -Brazil and Mexico- as a comparative case study. We considered the hypothesis that the two countries share similarities related to cultural contexts and heritage objects. Therefore, we expected similar results, such as the observed benefits of using a documentation software and a metadata schema. In this case study, we present the results of this investigation, but as will be seen, much remains to be done. As a prospect for the future, we are considering to expand the experiment to other standards, such as the Lightweight Information Describing Objects (LIDO) standard.

Keywords : digital repositories; museum documentation; standardized museum documentation; online publication of museum collections; Object ID standard; Tainacan software.
