Open the Gates to the Virtual Visitors! (The M.A.M.A.-Hungarian Museums Database-Project)Attila Suhajda, Ministry of Culture and Education Subsidiary
Session: International Focus: Hungary and New Zealand
In 1996 the Ministry of Culture and Education began (together with 11
state museums) the "MAMA" Hungarian Museums Database project. The aim
of this project is to establish a searchable artifacts index database.
Each state museum implemented a local network with a local server plus
internet connection. The project designed and developed a database management
system for each museums collection. Over these local databases we put
an index database -called M.A.MA- containing 12 elements available in
each collection. The local databases are stored and maintained on the
local servers, however for security reasons only the well protected
central computer is serving information to the Internet . This central
computer will provide place for individual museum home pages too.
