A Repository for Heterogeneous and Complex Digital Cultural Objects

Abstract

The paper proposes a solution for a repository of digital cultural objects, which can manage complex data as 3D objects, videos and more, together with the related metadata. The repository is built with open source components and may be easily installed and managed. Basing on an example, interfaces are shown for the most common operations. The system allows for text searches, semantic searches as well as facet refinements. The proposed system can support a full-featured digital library for its modularity and easy personalization.
