One of the other projects we are looking at here at Berkeley involves data mining, semantic services, and natural language processing techniques to help find ways to bridge these different sources of information using some machine intelligence. Frankly it looks like there will always be a fair amount of human work too, but this is a promising area. Thanks for commenting, Jennifer!

The overlaps in the vocabularies used were very small in the prototypes, and these differences are holding up in the larger scale study. jennifer see http://www.archimuse.com/research/steve.html for my reports on the project or http://www.steve.museum for more general info.

Reading your post today stimulated something in me from decades past -- the idea of having museum collections available to everyone, for all good reasons. Thank you for the posting and I hope your ideas come to pass.
