I’m sitting in the best session so far – about aggregating data and it reminds me of the initiative we had begun with Mystic Seaport ages ago… and like most such initiatives, it died a slow, quiet death – not for lack of desire on either museum’s part, but that sad dual mantra of no funding, no resources.

So – at the risk of making Jeanne’s head explode, I must say that we should participate in Frankie Roberto’s project and share our collections data – heck – what can it hurt? And it will also lead us to where we want to be with collections access.

Note to self – need to look into the open source Calais thingy.

And can I just crow about my insistence on mapping…..? We’ll start it with the Monitor blog, methinks – but there are so many places we could go with this….
