Sažetak
Providing infrastructural support to scholarly research in the fields of history of art and architecture, art theory and critique, and above all the valorization and presentation of Croatian cultural heritage, the documentation funds of the Institute of Art History in Zagreb (IAH) comprise heterogeneous material forming several collections – Photoarchives, Plans Library, Archival Collections and Legacies, etc. Primarily developed as a museum information system for cultural heritage collections management, the Modulor++ platform is being implemented into the IAH infrastructure as a digital tool that provides an integrated approach to the versatile and complex documentation material that is produced, gathered, and applied in the dissemination of new knowledge by the IAH. The process of implementation is necessarily preceded by conceptualization and modeling of the Modulor++ platform’s metadata framework to meet the specific requirements defined by the heterogeneous typology and complex structure of the material, with the ultimate objective of achieving semantic interoperability. Concurrent to the fast-paced development and increasing accessibility of new technologies and digital research infrastructures, the IAH documentation funds are experiencing a shift and advancement from the traditional documentation and production paradigms to a dynamic environment defined by the contemporary approaches in the field of digital humanities. More precisely, the identified shift is perhaps best epitomized by the production and management of complex formats (digital-born photography, digital-born architectural plans and maps) with such properties and functionalities that support versioning and production of multiple derivatives, rather than single units, and their reuse for various purposes (documentation, research, presentation, and dissemination of new knowledge). The presentation will also demonstrate the use of applied standards (particularly CIDOC CRM) and semantic technologies (Linked Open Data & Resource Description Framework), and the integration of established controlled vocabularies (ICONCLASS and Getty Vocabularies: AAT ; TGN ; CONA ; ULAN) within the Modulor++ platform, as well as the use of other public databases such as Metelwin, OpenStreetMaps (OSMF, ODbl), etc. The authors will address the identified challenges with full comprehension of differentiating between the terms digitization, referring to conversion into digital format, digitalization, referring to a series of digital data management processes, and digital transformation, referring to the overall effects of digitalization on the fields of digital art history, culture, and society as a whole.
