Abstract

Since the raise of the Web, the Memory and Culture institutions - archives, libraries and museums - have been digitizing their collections and making them available on the Web through computerized tools. When it comes to portals that integrate heterogeneous collections, such as those found in archives, libraries and museums, the traditional search box for keywords consists of true "black boxes", since users have no idea of ​​the contents of the system. In this context, heterogeneous portals must provide several other navigation and exploitation mechanisms for the available content, which can guide users in their search for information. Among these mechanisms are several indexes, filters or navigational taxonomies, which allow exploitation of the database according to different facets. This work aims to propose a comprehensive classification of types of objects existing in collections of Memory and Culture institutions, which may enable navigation, discovery, integration and interoperability between such collections.
