Traditional exhibition catalogues are extremely informative documents, but may be daunting, perhaps even intimidating, both to those who write them and those who read them. Enriching Exhibition Stories will help museums more easily create supplemental digital forms of exhibition narrative which speak to, and can be voiced by, a wider and more diverse range of perspectives than those who usually engage with exhibitions.This new project builds upon a successful international collaboration between leading researchers at the Universities of Oxford and Edinburgh in the UK and Yale University in the US, alongside the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and the Yale Center for British Art. It will draw upon insights from the same team during their research for the Enriching Exhibition Scholarship project, which linked and contextualised objects as they move between institutions through exhibitions, combining structured museum collections data with 'rich text' such as newspaper articles and social media.The project uses the open source Quire software, developed by Getty, which creates rich documents, including exhibition catalogues, but which are easy to author, build, deploy and maintain, even by smaller institutions and individuals. Enriching Exhibition Stories adds capabilities to Quire so that it will work with Linked Art -- the structured data used in the earlier research project -- and through it enable new forms of Digital Stories.Enriching Exhibition Stories will work in partnership with museums to ensure our work is embedded in professional best practice as well as software, both through an ongoing dialogue to define requirements, and through two trials of the enhanced-Quire software.In the first trial we will work with the curator of the recent 'Labyrinth: Knossos, Myth & Reality' exhibition at the Ashmolean, to create a Digital Story connecting items from the exhibition through social media commentary.In our second trial students at the Rumble Museum, Cheney School, will create Digital Stories which reflect their own personal interpretations of exhibition material and context.Our experience from both these trials will be coalesced in a 'train the trainers' session for museum professionals at the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School, and in dissemination to museum conferences in the UK and US.All project software, procedures, and documentation, will be made freely available for museums to adopt and adapt at any point in the future.

传统的展览目录是信息量极大的文件，但对于编写它们的人和阅读它们的人来说可能令人望而生畏，甚至可能令人生畏。丰富的展览故事将帮助博物馆更轻松地创建展览叙事的补充数字形式，与通常参与展览的人相比，这些形式能够表达更广泛、更多样化的观点。这个新项目建立在成功的国际合作的基础上英国牛津大学、爱丁堡大学和美国耶鲁大学的顶尖研究人员，以及牛津阿什莫林博物馆和耶鲁大学英国艺术中心。它将借鉴同一个团队在丰富展览奖学金项目研究过程中的见解，该项目通过展览将物体在机构之间移动时联系起来并置于背景中，将结构化的博物馆藏品数据与报纸文章和社交媒体等“富文本”结合起来。该项目使用 Getty 开发的开源 Quire 软件，该软件可以创建丰富的文档，包括展览目录，但即使对于较小的机构和个人来说，也很容易编写、构建、部署和维护。 Enriching Exhibition Stories 增加了 Quire 的功能，使其能够与 Linked Art（早期研究项目中使用的结构化数据）配合使用，并通过它启用新形式的数字故事。Enriching Exhibition Stories 将与博物馆合作，以确保我们的工作嵌入到专业的最佳实践和软件中，既通过持续的对话来定义需求，又通过增强型 Quire 软件的两次试验。在第一次试验中，我们将与最近的“迷宫：克诺索斯”的策展人合作，神话&阿什莫林的现实展览，旨在通过社交媒体评论创建一个数字故事，将展览中的物品连接起来。在我们的第二次试验中，切尼学院隆隆博物馆的学生将创建数字故事，反映他们自己对展览材料和背景的个人解读我们从这两项试验中获得的经验将在牛津数字人文暑期学校为博物馆专业人员举办的“培训师培训”课程中得到整合，并在英国和美国的博物馆会议上传播。所有项目软件、程序和文档，将自由制作可供博物馆在未来的任何时候采用和调整。
