"illegal" collections spidering project, see www.hoard.it
How: screen-scaper + spider

 Difficulties:
- must have collections online
- must have a consistent template
- not real time
- technical variations
- flash/forms a barrier
- normalization of dates and location

 They spidered 20 museumwebsites and 70.000 objects
most dublin core data spidered

 What most change:
Services are king! (not data and content)
Execution more important than ideas.
in-house development (seems a trend this conference, ima also does everything inhouse...)
use simple apis, (Rest not soap/oai)
Produce value elsewhere.

Interesting tech talk how artbabble uses Amazon EC2 service (but a litte bit to technical for me).
Artbabble (www.artbabble.com ) uses Amazon cloud services, Video hosting is very expensive, but not with amazon services.
Costs the same as hosting a normal big museum site (400 dollar/month)

 Artvideo's lost in youtube, that's why they launched Artbabble.

 40.000 video views in first 2 weeks.

My (unedited) notes:

 Summary
- bringing back feelings and emotion in the heart of technology in museums
- museums want to be part of visitors lifes
- open and transparent: example dashboard of museum data! (is open source)
- most important stats question: who isn't visiting and why are they not? - social demography

  
Anderson mentioned next points
- not to much commerce bring in to your museum
- use voyeurism: show staff in action (csi)
- proximity to original objects
- projection into another tim, place, or condition
- help savor and retain memories and an empathetic response
- help empathetic response apply to daily live
- connoisseurship at the mall
- previsit planning and postvisit enrichment
- previsit duration and thematic interest
- previsit behind the scenes
- deviate from predefined paths in the museum
- post vist: join a facebook gropu, blog, search collection
- post-post visit, part of visitors life

 Telling the truth is very important! examples:

 what is visceral for museum staff,
interactive map with visitors zip codes
social demographics!
what neighbourhoods are not coming
collections what there is not, sell artworks, database of objects they want to sell
charity navigator - your guide to intelligent giving

 good examples of al this in the museumworld

art babble - premise: echt interessante dingen, goede zoekresultaten, teksten zijn te vinden.
video can become part of real search results

Looking at the new uk site Creative spaces and reading the discussion about it. Is there a future for this kind of sites?
