Project Spotlight and Updates

CollectionSpace and UCB deployments

CollectionSpace functionality overview (as of October 4, 2011)

CollectionSpace deployment timeline (as of October 4, 2011)

In 2008, we became an early member of the CollectionSpace program that aims to develop a scalable and extensible open source Collection Management platform for use across campus collections including those of BNHM. A major focus of this project was to gain the benefits of a strong community source project coupled with an architecture that would drive interoperability and rapid deployment.

titleUnit Description

The Informatics Services Group (within IST-Research and Content Technologies) works with faculty, museum, academic and research communities to identify, develop and deliver cyberinfrastructure and informatics solutions to the campus. The goals of this unit are directly linked to the education, research and outreach missions of the University as stated in the Campus-wide Information Technology Strategic Plan. Informatics Services is particularly concerned with: collection management systems; digital asset management and repositories (media vaults); controlled vocabularies; semantic services; data exchange, integration and dissemination; and interfaces with services that provide other functionality, such as geospatial services and visualization.
