Social Documentation

,----[ Quote ]
| The new MAA Documentation System combines open-source technologies with deep 
| social computing principles to create a truly innovative approach to museum 
| documentation. The new MAA Documentation System shifts the age-old 
| documentation principles of standardized description and information 
| accumulation to multi-vocal and multi-source accounts and distributed 
| documentation.     
| 
| For the past few years, the MAA has been developing an open-source 
| Documentation System. With over 20 years experience of developing its own 
| Documentation Systems and Collections Management Systems, the MAA is just 
| about to finish one of the most ambitious upgrades of its history. In fact, 
| this system is the result of a complete re-think of its documentation 
| practices. Thought the new system takes account of documentation standards, 
| such as SPECTRUM, and newer developments such as CollectionSpace, it differs 
| from the traditional approaches is several key respects.

"IP" is dying through obsolescence. GPL, Creative Commons etc. just render it
