| Brief project
description (published aims and objectives): |
| The aim of the project is to
create a common classification system for use in museums in the Scandinavian
countries on the basis of the existing Outline of Cultural Materials, but
translated into Nordic terminology. The Scandinavian classification system will
contribute to a standardized method of registration and make museum collections
more easily accessible through Internet and with an adequate search mode. |

their activities and collections. The subject chosen for the project is
cultivation and harvesting av fodder. On the basis of the collections in the 8
museums, topics to be discussed include: problems and possible solutions for

| Brief project
description (published aims and objectives): |
| This is a database program
automating the collection information in Norwegian museums, particularly
small-scale museums. Efforts to improve collection cataloging started in the
1970's and with the newer computer technology these efforts increased greatly.
WinRegimus emerged in 1985, and was intended to facilitate work in registering
museum artifacts and historical photos. It has since then developed and now
approximately 200 museums use this particular database program. |

| Brief project
description (published aims and objectives): |
| As a result of the
development of the database program WinRegimus, and the observations and
experiences from museum staff that had taken it into use, new requirements and
demands on the system developed and increased. There were shortcomings that
museums with very large collections found problematic. For example, Primus is an
hierarchical system, i.e. one can register objects or collections at either the
acquisition, series or object level. If several objects are registered first as
a series, the data which the objects have in common will follow down to the
object level. This is regardless of material, i.e. objects, photographs or art.
So, Primus was launched as a new project aiming to improve the overall
administration of collections, including accessions, location, loans, exhibits
and conservation. Primus aims to develop and preserve knowledge of the history
of the objects and collections in a meaningful context, and has as one of its'
goals to make the database, or rather the knowledge and information in the
database, accessible to a larger public over Internet (Primus Web).
