Museum Nasional Asset Management

Project Overview

The Museum Nasional Asset Management project was developed to digitize and manage Indonesia's National Museum vast collection of cultural artifacts and historical items. The museum needed a modern system to replace their paper-based cataloging and improve accessibility for researchers and preservation efforts.

Project Requirements

• Create a digital asset management system for the National Museum's collections
• Implement high-resolution image storage and management
• Develop comprehensive metadata and cataloging capabilities
• Build search and discovery tools for researchers and staff

The Challenge

The main challenge was creating a system that could handle diverse artifact types with complex metadata requirements while supporting high-resolution images and maintaining historical accuracy. Additionally, we needed to implement sophisticated search capabilities to help researchers locate specific items among hundreds of thousands of artifacts.

The Approach & Solution

We developed a comprehensive asset management system using PHP with an Oracle database backend. The system includes specialized metadata schemas for different artifact categories, support for ultra-high-resolution images with zooming capabilities, and advanced search functionality with multiple filtering options. We implemented a hierarchical categorization system that reflects the museum's organizational structure while enabling cross-collection searches.
