The Relationship

Personal digital collections systems, which encourage visitors to museum websites to create their own personal collections out of a museum’s online collections, are the latest trend in personalization technologies for museums and other cultural heritage organizations. This chapter explores the development, implementation, and evaluation of different types of personal digital collection interfaces on museum websites, from simple bookmarking applications to sophisticated tools that support high levels of interactivity and the sharing of collections. It examines the potential impact of these interfaces on the relationship between museums and their online visitors, explores the possible benefits of involving users as co-creators of digital cultural heritage, and offers an analysis of future research directions and best practices for system design, presenting lessons learned from more than a decade of design and development of personal digital collections systems on museum websites.

Wide Range

Modern dataloggers and the ever-increasing number of sensors can measure a wide range of environmental parameters, from air temperature and relative humidity through energy flux density, in minute detail and summarize the data for you at any interval your research requires. The cost of collecting environmental data using automated data recorders and their associated sensors continues to drop with advancements in microprocessor development. The value of the data collected by these systems is largely determined by decisions regarding overall project and individual study component design. The utility and versatility of the information collected is a function of the planning performed at the beginning of the research program. The initial design of the monitoring system and the database produced by the system will determine whether or not the data may be useful for other work being conducted on site or nearby. The expected and actual functionality of the database produced can be quite different depending on the resources applied to the monitoring system during initial setup and with ongoing maintenance. This paper incorporates the experiences gained from three long-term research programs involving extensive automated environmental monitoring networks, the problems encountered, the success stories, and the lessons learned. Suggestions and considerations for system design and database management are proposed. Key words: environmental monitoring, system design, database management

Thermal Actuation

Supplemental heating systems for the distal extremities often require a tradeoff between wearability and thermal comfort. Textile-based thermal actuation helps manage this tradeoff by increasing comfort of on-body systems. However, textile-based thermal actuation also presents important limitations in the form of current requirements, control structures, and thermal flux afforded. Further, on-body active thermal control is affected by three intersecting thermal systems: the environment, the human body, and the active heating system. Here, we present lessons learned from iterative development of textile-based wearable systems (V1, V2) designed to heat the distal extremities. Experimental characterization of textile actuator power/temperature relationships and limits; actuator performance in cool ambient temperatures and in on-body conditions; and efficacy of closed-loop duty cycle control of actuated skin temperature are presented, and implications of these characteristics for garment system design are discussed.
