- 60. Which leads us to a knowledgeframework that supports museum activities. © 2010 hot studio, inc. 36 | SFMOMA | COLLECTIONS SYSTEM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
- 61. The Framework The artwork is at the center, and we build around that. Art © 2010 hot studio, inc. 37 | SFMOMA | COLLECTIONS SYSTEM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
- 62. The Framework The first component of the framework is thefactualrecords we collect and create about the artwork over time. These can be in one or many systems. Art Info Art © 2010 hot studio, inc. 38 | SFMOMA | COLLECTIONS SYSTEM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
- 63. The Framework Next, we need context to help people create meaning. Art Context Art Info Art © 2010 hot studio, inc. 39 | SFMOMA | COLLECTIONS SYSTEM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
- 64. The Framework Finally, we want the experience to support the individual needs of people and the collaborative activities of the museum.

- 65. The Framework Within the experiencelayer, museum staff, the public, other museums, and the art communitycan participate in the activities of the museum, regardless of whetherthe artwork is traditionalor not.

- 66. So, how do we move forward? © 2010 hot studio, inc. 42 | SFMOMA | COLLECTIONS SYSTEM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
- 67. To support the understanding of both traditional and non-traditional art, the systems we use must transition from silos of information to a collaborative knowledge framework. Implication © 2010 hot studio, inc. 43 | SFMOMA | COLLECTIONS SYSTEM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
- 70. Partner Museums
- 72. Define what success looks like for participants
- 73. Identify the technology opportunity
- 74. Understand the Data Model

- 76. What is Virtualization? Virtualization is a technology that abstracts software from hardware allowing operating systems to run without hardware specific drivers or instructions.
- 77. Why Virtualization? Modern server hardware is increasingly powerful and affordable. However there is a cost. Powerful resources are often underutilized, consuming power, space and other environmental resources. Virtualization allows for consolidating and maximizing resources by allowing multiple virtual machines to run on one piece of hardware.
- 78. Virtualization for Web Art? Enhanced security and sustainability Reduction of hardware Works exist independently of each other on the same virtual platform Able to take snapshots over time Clone or sandbox allows for a working environment for the artist or a research environment for the collections team Simplified upgradability Built-in disaster preparedness

- Collaboration: Within the MuseumBetween museumsTherefore serving our publicExisting electronic systems are adequate, at best, for basic object cataloging and location trackingNon-traditional works are challenging the way we currently steward collectionsUnderstand the implications of non-traditional art works and the implications for all art forms
- Green- Primary DocumentationBlue- Commentary and Interpretation Orange- Related WorksRed- Nature of Art workThis slide calls out a number of things that help inform our understanding(s) of the artwork. Is it necessary to call out the 4 broad categories? (Because there is overlap amongst them.)Note: conservation records, primary documentation, related works by the artist, and essays can have informational and contextual elements.If we need to keep the categories, another way of looking at it might be:a) about the artworkb) about things related to the artwork (other artworks and, e.g., what was happening in the world at the time an artwork was created, as well as industry knowledge about the nature of the work or components of the work); if you like Nature of the Work, I think it’s more about Understanding the Nature of the Work.c) instances of interpretations of the work (our interpretations – such as might be found in our exhibitions or exhibition catalogues – and the interpretations of others… found in their articles or books)Note: the owners/keepers of things in some of the categories – like monographs and archival records – have methods of cataloguing their items/works that differ from museum cataloguing.Note too that gaps can appear in each of these bubbles – e.g., we may not have access to, or know about, all the images of a work or know its entire exhibition history.
