An Exploration of Protecting Local Culture via Content Curation in Local Online Museum

Abstract

Local museum and local culture tourism contribute a lot to protection of local culture. Integrating objects of online museum with local culture or tourism info from web sources will help visitors understand local culture deeply. However, few efforts had been done, meanwhile, the surge of Web2.0 makes it difficult to find useful info from mass of user-generated contents online. Content curation is an important filter to separate signal from noise. In this research, we present a system design to integrate local culture events or tourism information with local online museum seamlessly via content curation in order to protect local culture.
