Item A Distributed Object Repository for Cultural Heritage(The Eurographics Association, 2010) Pan, Xueming; Beckmann, Philipp; Havemann, Sven; Tzompanaki, K.; Doerr, Martin; Fellner, Dieter W.; Alessandro Artusi and Morwena Joly and Genevieve Lucet and Denis Pitzalis and Alejandro RibesThis paper describes the design and the implementation of a distributed object repository that offers cultural heritage experts and practitioners a working platform to access, use, share and modify digital content. The principle of collecting paradata to document each step in a potentially long sequence of processing steps implies a number of design decisions for the data repository, which are described and explained. Furthermore, we provide a description of the concise API our implementation. Our intention is to provide an easy-to-understand recipe that may be valuable also for other data repository implementations that incorporate and operationalize the more theoretical concepts of intellectual transparency, collecting paradata, and compatibility to semantic networks.
