The Cleveland Museum of Art
CMS Demonstration Scenarios
Curatorial: Search capabilities demonstrate how:
1. A curator might determine how many works are in the collection were once owned by an individual?
2. Which works in a collection were shown in a specific exhibition?
3. How many times in the last x number of years have works been loaned to exhibitions at a specific museum?
4. Which works in the collections are by American artists who were born in Ireland?
5. When was a specific work last on public display in the galleries?
6. Sort works by donor
7. Sort works by subject
8. A user can export records to a tombstone label?
9. A user can export records to an art movement form?
General: Searching
Exact, phrase and keyword options should be available for all indexed fields. Wild card searching should be an option.
All fields should be indexed and all indexes should be searchable exclusively or in combination.
EXAMPLES:
Find all records with blue in the title and painting in the material type.
"Words adjacent," you can type in the phrase German expressionism and the system will understand that you want only records that have the word German NEXT to the word expressionism.
Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT in your search. For example, you could type (prints OR drawings) AND Picasso to retrieve all records having prints or drawings in them, together with the word Picasso.
Word Stemming to find matches that contain portions of words. For example, paint? will retrieve paint, paints, painting, paintings, painter, etc. In another example, ? ology will retrieve anthropology, archaeology, egyptology, etc. The ? character may also be used to find variant spellings. For example, brueg?el will find both brueghel and bruegel.
If you searched Frederick Church and wanted to expand your search to other landscape paintings owned by CMA a subject link would allow you to do this. Additionally, if you wished to search all works by Church owned by CMA in line-linking would be functional.
