The temporary exhibition of the Military History Museum entitled ‘Hadimustra’ opened in Székesfehérvár at the end of May 2024. The 18-room exhibition features a wealth of artefacts, a spectacular timeline and digital content, providing an insight into the past centuries of Hungarian military history, from the struggle against Ottoman rule to the armaments of the Hungarian Defence Forces of today. It was our company’s task to display the above digital content in cooperation with the Institute. In the completed project, a total of 9 terminals bring to life the Hungarian weapons of different eras, the primary symbols of the armed forces and military service: flags, uniforms and medals, as well as the relics and documents of the everyday life and holidays of our soldiers.

Following the colour scheme of the exhibition spaces, each terminal, displayed in thematic rooms, has a unique landing page where visitors can immerse themselves in the exhibition through quizzes, 3D puzzles, a timeline battle map, a battle history game and a full-screen gallery with 3D elements.

In addition to the gamified content available on the touch screens, a responsive thematic portal (OPAC Liferay 7) has been created, including

also awaits those interested in the subject.

In January 2024, the Gyula Nagy Regional Museum was inaugurated, renewed with a grant of nearly 97 million Huf within the framework of the Hungarian Genius Programme of the National Cultural Fund. The permanent exhibition of the Endre Thék Memorial Hall, entitled Message of 280 Years – Our Past and Traditions, presents the history of Orosháza and the life and work of Endre Thék, who was connected to the settlement in numerous ways.

We were commissioned by the Nagy Gyula Regional Museum to create one of the interactive elements of the exhibition. The kiosk was programmed with a uniquely designed homepage, from which visitors can easily access the digital content of their interest – playful exercises (puzzles, quizzes, word searches) created with the help of our Education product, or archaeological and ethnographic information presented through Storytelling, as well as details about the life and work of Endre Thék.

Endre Thék’s school-leaving certificate, the agenda, floor plan of the apprenticeship home in Orosháza, videos and audio material, 3D recordings are also available on the touch screen terminal in the museum related to the exhibition.

MNIT online catalogue

Posted on: February 5th, 2024 by akovacstapai

Located in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, The National Museum of History is one of the most important museums of history on a national level. It takes its pride in a rich collection of more than 450000 objects and in a valuable team of professionals, who work at very high standards for research, object conservation and heritage promotion.

When starting to use Qulto, the first efforts of the museum were focused on building the database, by putting together, checking, and migrating records from several formats. A lot of teamwork (Qulto team and MNIT professionals) was needed to customize and adapt the solution so that it fits as much as possible the standards and needs of the museum.

During recent years, the museum has put a lot of effort into opening as much as possible toward the public. The focus is shifting from object to human being; thus, each object becomes a story that helps the public understand the cultural identity of the area. With this approach in mind, the museum launched, in January 2024, the online catalogue of collections. The catalogue started with a small and carefully selected collection and continues to grow every day, as objects are revised for publication. The metadata associated to each record was carefully revised and unified by professionals. At the same time, on the software side, a lot of harmonization and customization work was involved (for publishing, hiding, renaming, or refining the way some fields are displayed).

All these contribute to offering a clean and smooth navigating experience and maximize the chances of retrieving the information visitors look for. The interface is focusing on the visual side, with responsive design interface and several ways of interacting with images (full-screen, crop, black and white). Sharing is also encouraged via link and multiple social media options.

But beyond that, the curious visitor will find genuine lessons of history and impressive, touching stories. A state-of-the-art museum catalogue that has a lot of pleasant surprises for professionals and the wide public alike.

The Selfie application is an interactive tool to complement the ethnographic exhibition of the György Thúry  Museum in Nagykanizsa, entitled “The more fancy, the more beautiful…” – The folk costume with loose skirts and pearl nets in Zala. The selfie, related to the theme of the exhibition, virtually dresses the user in costumes of the time, thus helping the user to travel through time in a playful way. The resulting image is a montage of the user’s face in a contemporary life scene, a person dressed in a typical folk costume. The design of the application is the result of a collaboration between our company and the museum, using graphic elements that match the exhibition.

Put the city in your pocket!

With this cultural tourism app, our aim is to provide our customers with a tool to easily and quickly design and publish thematic tours or virtual walks of local values and cultural treasures.

 

Main features

Spreading local and cultural knowledge in an engaging way 

Game modes

Administration interface 

With the app, you can create any number of thematic walks without any restrictions: city walks, themed tours around a specific event or celebrity, a competition for students – unleash your creativity! During the walk, the presentation of spectacular places can be enriched with interesting content, we can engage the audience with quizzes and invite the whole family to play games. In addition to individual play mode, you can also compete, so a whole class or group can join in. Using the capabilities of the mobile device, the app sends information or guides the user to the next point in the game based on their physical location. On a desktop computer or in a web browser, it presents the points of interest in a virtual tour.

An administration interface is available for editing the walks after logging in. As the very first step, attractions have to be recorded together with their descriptions and associated media. These recorded items will serve as each ‘stop’  while creating guided tours and quiz-enriched playful walks. One stop can of course be used for several walks.

What to use it for?

In addition to creating outdoor tours, the app is also suitable for creating an indoor media (or audio-only) tour guide service based on QR codes.

Cloud service

Qulto Attract components are offered as a cloud service, installed on the servers of Qulto. The service includes server hosting (monitoring, backup), hosting and software usage.

Applications are web-based, running in a standard browser, with responsive design. The administration interfaces is also accessible from the browser.

In case of termination of the contract, the content created by the customer will be made available in a viewable format, without any additional charge. This will not include interaction elements offered by the application and the possibility of navigating between the pages.

Hardware requirements

The applications are run as cloud services, and our company takes care of the storage and serving of data, and of the operation of server-side programs. To answer technical questions and troubleshoot any technical issues that may arise, our company operates a support service. The visitor interfaces are browser-based and, thus can be accessed from a variety of workstations and mobile devices. The use of CityConquest is independent of any collection management system used by the institution.

Training

On-line consultation is included as part of the purchase for all applications. The administrator interfaces are simple, easy to use, and working with them does not require any preliminary training or IT skills other than the ones used for everyday work.

Qulto Repo is a publishing repository based on the open source DSpace 8 software, which has gained popularity in recent years, especially among public education and public collections institutions. Its popularity has been mainly due to its relative ease of use, customisability and operability.

Repository implementations aim at providing a repository for uploaded media (text documents, images, videos, audio files – mainly non-proprietary content). The service platform is usually the open access catalogue of the public collection (OPAC3). If required, some repositories can be used independently (e.g. DSpace, EPrints), as well. With this module, your institution can manage its digital content with ease. All content can be associated with standard descriptive elements that facilitate searchability and ensure interoperability between different systems. Our solution also supports full-text indexing and search to ensure maximum accessibility and searchability.

In addition to the basic DSpace digital object repository functionality, Qulto Repo has add-ons such as media playback implemented by Qulto developers, record cloning and movement between collections, and Qulto Annotate for group annotation and tagging of PDF documents.

The Q360 application is a spherical panoramic virtual exhibition and walk through in a web environment with a responsive design. By creating 360 degree spherical panoramic virtual exhibitions and virtuals walks, you can digitally create or archive exhibition spaces. Using marker points placed on spherical panoramic images, you can place details from the real space in the virtual space and even complete it with additional, extra information. This way we can tell and show more about the objects than we could in a simple physical space.

Interfaces

In the administration interface of the application, it is possible to create virtual exhibitions and to define spherical panoramic images, so-called scenes, in these exhibitions without any additional help. Marker points placed on the scenes can be used both to transfer knowledge, information, and to navigate between scenes within the virtual exhibition.

The visitor interface is the main element of the application, where visitors can view a virtual exhibition. Here, it is possible to navigate between the scenes (i.e. spherical panoramic images) of the virtual exhibition, and by clicking on marker points to view the textual and visual information assigned to the scenes. A spherical panoramic image of a scene can also be viewed using VR glasses (Oculus Rift). For instance, a museum with several rooms can be presented in such a way that each room is a separate scene, but for larger rooms, multiple scenes can be defined as well. The visual information displayed in the scenes is not bound to physical space.

#learn differently #it is fun to learn #using public collections #digital museum pedagogy #interactive education #digital education packages

Education is a software component supporting the creation and use of interactive educational packages. This software primarily provides assistance to teachers and lecturers working in the public education sector and public collection institutions, though it is effectively applicable in other fields, as well. The module provides a playful learning experience in school, library and museum settings where public collections have the chance to reuse cultural assets and registered data. Consequently, lecturers can reach reach out to their school-age audiences both on new platforms and in novel ways, i.e. they can use the recently popular electronic devices preferred by their students to raise interest in a given subject through combining online and offline education materials.

Users can work with records from external and internal data sources, textual material and media content to create teaching materials for educational packages. The exercises – quizzes, timelines, word searches, puzzles – and information in the educational materials allow students to interactively explore a topic – let it be the history of a castle, a well-known poet’s ballads, or science questions.

In the editor interface, the teacher collects resources – even directly from public collection databases – for the presentation of the curriculum in an educational package, compiles tasks (e.g. word search, timeline, puzzle, quiz, and embedded content), and creates a  series of tasks from the resources. The published exercises are enriched with subject headings and published online, thus becoming browseable and accessible to anyone. Each task encourages students to interact.

 

Main features:

Pros:

Library and museum pedagogy

The Education platform is the perfect solution as a digital tool for library, archive and museum education programmes accompanying exhibitions. It makes it easy to create public exercises and teaching materials linked with subject headings that can be used in the classroom. These exercises can be used by participants on their own devices, and by being published via links they become accessible to remote users (schools), as well.

Cloud service

Qulto Attract components are offered as a cloud service, installed on the servers of Qulto. The service includes server hosting (monitoring, backup), hosting and software usage.

Applications are web-based, running in a standard browser, with responsive design. The administration interfaces is also accessible from the browser.

To answer technical questions and troubleshoot any technical issues that may arise, our company operates a support service. The visitor interfaces are browser-based and, thus can be accessed from a variety of workstations and mobile devices. The use of Education is dependent on the introduction of the Qulto integrated collection management system (Qulto Library, Qulto Museum or Qulto Archive) by the institution.

Training

On-line consultation is included as part of the purchase for all applications. The administrator interfaces are simple, easy to use, and working with them does not require any preliminary training or IT skills other than the ones used for everyday work.

With Storytelling, we aim to provide a modern digital tool for communicating cultural values and knowledge held in public collections.

Both editing and user reception of content are facilitated by an online application running in a traditional web browser. The digital story created on this platform is an exhibition material on a specific theme, compiled from the museums’ collection items and other content, presented in digital form on a web interface, where the museum curator can build up the exhibition material and edit its way of presentation to the public with the help of a dedicated administration interface.

The focus of Storytelling is on the visual representation of the topic to be presented, a knowledge map (topology) is created during editing. This visual representation of the story is available on the visitor interface, both helping to understand the concept/story as well as to navigate within the narrative.

It breaks with the tradition of linear storytelling, providing the possibility to implement other structures (parallel stories, concept of chamber exhibition, optional routes).

Qulto Museum

Posted on: February 4th, 2022 by akovacstapai

The Qulto Museum catalog system grew out of the Qulto Library system, benefiting from the library field’s by then well-established standardisation efforts and our company’s many years of experience in library database data migration.

The primary objective of Qulto Museum is to provide software support for the recording of cultural assets held, managed or owned by museums, and to replace paper-based repositories.  At the same time, beyond recording, it supports preservationa and multilingual re-use of further knowledge about these cultural objects .

The very first Qulto Museum system was implemented by the Petőfi Literary Museum in January 2009, and professional cooperation with the institution has continued ever since. With the involvement of other professional partners, the range of supported materials has gradually expanded, and from version 2 onwards, standard  museum forms, inventory cards and reports are available. The customisable museum forms – in additon to the fields defined in the NKÖM Regulation 20/2002 – include items to support researchers’ professional work.

The range of available functions is constantly expanding, taking into account the needs and suggestions of both local clients and users from abroad.

Main features:

Museum modules

Cataloging – creating a museum inventory

Functions required to audit the museum system in individual collections

Content management

Other functions supporting museum work

 

Modules and services beyond the basic museum system

Support of auditing (only in selected countries)

Conversion and data migration

Web publications

Workflow

Would you like to handle your workflows in a controlled way?

Our workflow sub-system can handle the sequence of multiple tasks even if there are paralell steps or different branches.The module registers the completed tasks, and on the basis of their outcomes, it diverts them to different threads of execution, according to the task descriptions in the configuration. It handles phases and steps of complex workflows, and in the case of their failure, it implements compensation tasks. The workflow steps can call external systems (for example to integrate financial transactions) and process the results received, too.

Reports

Would you like to get statistical data and management information from your database?

With our statistical module, which works as an individual subsystem, information supporting management decisions and data about the utilization of inventory or the use of services are also available, alongside the required statistical data.

The scope of information queried in the report module can be freely extended with data stored in the database through configuration modifications.

Quality Management Reports

Drawing up a report of proper quality and appropriate content is not only a legal obligation, but also the basis of increasing efficiency.

These reports are essential for fulfilling quality assurance tasks. The reports obtainable from the system provide up-to-date inventory. We prepare the reports with extensive consideration of the documentation and reporting obligations.

Logistics

Qulto Relocation module – inventory of storage, transfer and insurance requirements with mobile application

Qulto Museum users can manage their artifact transfer events on a web interface. The associated mobile app (Android and iOS) allows users to track the transfer of artifacts even when offline.

Aspects of the Long-Term Preservation of Digitized Catalogue Data

Aspects of the Long-Term Preservation of Digitized Catalogue Data: Analysis of the Databases of Integrated Collection Management Systems

The Preservation, Digital Technology & Culture (PDT&C) international journal’s latest publication offers the scientific analysis of András Simon, our colleague and his co-author, Péter Kiszl.

Abstract of the article

During this research, the catalogues of more than 200 libraries and museums of Hungary and its neighboring countries were examined. The authors calculated the amount and the size of the metadata and of the full content records in the databases of their collection management systems, as well as the size and the type of the full content data and the size of the databases. By analyzing the results, the goal was to answer the following three questions: (1) Can any significant difference be established between the results according to country, nationality, or type of institution?; (2) How large is a metadata record or a full content record?; (3) Is it possible to establish a methodology for selecting a representative sample of institutions to facilitate further research? For planning the costs of data management, the size of the databases, the number of metadata records, and the variability of metadata and media records shall all be considered. A distinction should be made between the indispensable “primary” data to be preserved for a long time, and the “secondary” data units which are derived from the primary data. It is investigated in this article how to establish the size of primary data in the databases of collection management systems.

The entire work is available here:

A 2017-2018-ban készült színháztörténeti portál főoldalának átstruktúrálása volt a feladatunk. Az időközben megváltozott igényeknek megfelelően az Országos Színháztörténeti Múzeum és Intézet kapcsolódó felületén egy teljesen új nyitóoldal került kialakításra, a korábbi főoldal almenüben kapott helyet. A portál a megrendelő kérésére további almenüpontokkal gazdagodott, illetve a munka során megújultak a keresési és fórum oldalak is.

2017-2018

Az Országos Színháztörténeti Múzeum és Intézet „Színházi emlékezet megőrzése” elnevezésű projektje keretében a Monguz Kft. egy komplex gyűjteményi adatbázisra támaszkodó színháztörténeti portált készített.

Az adatbázis nemcsak leírja, tárolja és közzé teszi a kutatók által összegyűjtött színházi dokumentumokat, hanem előre meghatározott szakmai szempontok szerint rendezi, előfeldolgozza a forrásokat. Nemcsak a leíró adatokat, hanem magukat a forrásokat is elérhetővé teszi digitális formában, valamint a kutatás – részben a honlapon publikált – szöveges eredményeit is összekapcsolja a múzeum gyűjteményében található forrásokkal.

A digitális platform (szinhaztortenet.hu – mely hamarosan elérhető) további feladata, hogy olyan felületként működjön, melyet minden későbbi szakmai és tudományos publikáció referenciaként jelölhet meg, mivel az egyes előadásokról, színészekről, színházról fellelhető információ szakmailag alátámasztva, megszerkesztve tárul a közönség elé.

Together with the team of passionate professionals from Bistrița, Qulto developed a new concept of an interactive multi-media guide, that combines elements of augmented reality and audio-guide to transform the walk in the exhibit into a quest, a game-like experience.

The app, called Explore CMBN (CMBN being the acronym of the museum) is available on mobile devices and offers the visitor a wide series of information related to the museum history, the building itself, details on each department, each room and on the most important items in the exhibit. The content comes in the form of text, professional audio recordings, images and 3D scans. The guide is available both in English and Romanian, thus making the museum more accessible for tourists everywhere. After a short introduction and tutorial, the users have to scan the QR codes next to each room or object in order to get details on that specific collection or items. Unlike during a guided tour, visitors can focus on items that draw their attention. Moreover, items have keywords, based on area of interest or object category, so that a person interested in jewelries or weapons will get recommendations on that specific type of objects. The multi-media guide is just one component of a bigger project that Bistrița Museum Complex designed together with Qulto.

The project also involves using Qulto Museum software for the management of the collections, thus creating a database with complex metadata for more than 30000 museum objects. A public online catalogue of the most valuable items will soon be available.

The main concept of the game is to teach and distribute knowledge related to local history and culture. Your mobile device shows a map on which certain areas have to be seized by giving correct answers to the culture related questions. Visiting the given area increases your chances while playing the game as the questions cover the local sights – famous buildings or statues. Also, aid is given in the form of descriptions, fun-facts and images, and your performance can be shared on Facebook in the end. The GPS data of your mobile’s location enable the system to determine about which area the questions should be about. Also, small tags on the map that mark the sights included in the game serve you as an exciting and „smart” guide in the city.

Qulto Manage

Posted on: December 15th, 2020 by akovacstapai

Qulto Manage not only helps you to manage your institution as a whole, but also to manage collections, documentation, other information and institutional content. The introduction of products belonging to Manage is the first step towards building the Qulto Ecosystem within an institution.

Integrated Qulto systems for the management of museums, libraries or other cultural institutions allow the creation of a unified knowledge base to start your adventures in the stories about different people, objects or places. Qulto Manage is the initial step in the sustainable development of an institution, with transparency, openness and integrity in mind.

API – Want to add new components to your existing system?

Standard Application Programming Interface (APIs), used by small applications that connect larger systems or are custom-built, allow you to add external components without having to know how systems actually operate.

This way, it is possible, for example, to link an opan access catalog (OPAC) to any integrated public collection system, or to integrate Qulto products with other systems, services or open source components.
