*It's a collaborative project with @wwwangxinyi.
Many museums have established their museum databases, hold digital exhibitions, and provided virtual visit services to internet tourists. However, the benefits of these services do not reach everyone. A museum-related website would be built based on various museum datasets, providing users a quick search on Eastern Asian Culture.
The data will be generated from these three website databases: (can be considered as similar websites)
- The British Museum, London, United Kingdom
- The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Washington, D.C., United States
- Brooklyn Museum, New York, United States
The collection related dataset would be stored as following:
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ID | int | Identification number for each object |
| Title | string | The title of the collection |
| Image | string | URL to the image of each object |
| Artist | string | Information about the artist(s) of each object |
| Culture | string | Information about the culture which an object was created |
| Country | string | China, Japan, Mongolia or Korea |
| Category | string | The classification of the object |
| Date | string | Year, a span of years, or a phrase that describes the specific or approximate date when an artwork was designed or created |
| Museum | string | Information about belongings of each artwork |
| Description | string | The detailed introduction of the object |
In detail, there will be six tables:
- Collection (id, title, date, image, description)
- Museum (id, name)
- Country (id, name)
- Category (id, name)
- Artist (id, name)
- User (id, nickname, comments, rating, collection)
Users will manually create accounts or use a Google account login. In the website they can make comments, collect and rank on the collections. Users can reply each others' comments, but can only edit or delete their own words.
