In what form is data on artworks and events collected for the MEHI database?
Information on media art is compiled in the MEHI database in a way that makes it easy to find, reuse and open data on different platforms. Consistency and systematicity are key to high-quality data collection. Cataloguing guidelines have thus been created to support data collection. The guidelines are available as a Google Docs file, and questions and comments can be added to the file. The guidelines are currently only available in Finnish, but a translation will be available in the future. The cataloguing guidelines of the MEHI project are based on museum cataloguing standards.
