Clearly, much work remains in the creation of digital
museums that can engage in diverse knowledge communities
and their multiple ontological contexts through which they
express their relationship to digital objects. The next phase
of the study will explore, more directly, how access to multiple
online accounts of the object, through images, narratives,
and discussions, provides deeper access to the object than
mere catalog-based entries. This will entail the use of new
Web applications to present museum objects through a richness
of descriptions and narrative accounts (visual, textual,
audio) and make secondary, and customizable, the tools of
access and local ordering.
