Enhancing user involvement with digital cultural heritage: The usage of social tagging and storytelling
Abstract
This paper focuses on the use of online social tagging and
storytelling to enrich digital collections of cultural heritage.
Together with several Dutch museums, we examined the question of whether
and how social tagging could benefit these museums in disclosing
specific digital collections. This led to the development of a social
tagging tool (www.ikweetwatditis.nl)
as a means of researching behaviour when tagging cultural objects. The
results show that tagging and storytelling can help museums enrich their
collections and involve their audiences.
