Who are we?

Digital Heritage Minds' mission is the digitization of cultural heritage. Our skills are developing since 2008 and cover all relevant technologies used in this field, with a special focus on the appropriate standardized metadata formats: LIDO for collection items, METS for library items and EAD for archivalia.

Digital Heritage Toolkit

Our main product comprises advanced web viewer modules for digital objects of museums, libraries and archives. The metadata formats being used are solely LIDO, METS and EAD. No proprietary data formats are involved; seamless interoperability and exchangeability with other Institutions of Custody is therefore guaranteed.

Digital Heritage Toolkit comprises three common modules:

• The Portal, the Extended Search and the Music Search. These modules give you an overview of your digital objects as well as elaborate search functionality.

Furthermore it contains viewer modules perfectly fitting the three different kinds of digital objects:

• The Collection Item Viewer, which also seamlessly integrates 3D models of your exhibits

• The Library Item Viewer

• The Archival Item Viewer
