# Quality Assessment Tools at museum-digital
|
||
|
||
The classes of this library provide tools to access the quality of museum object
|
||
records and provide tips for improving it.
|
||
|
||
## Tools
|
||
|
||
### PuQI
|
||
|
||
PuQI (class `MDPuqi`) generates a score determining the quality of object metadata
|
||
based on e.g. counting linked entries, checking the length of an object's description,
|
||
and more.
|
||
Along with the score, a list of tips is generated to describe how to improve the
|
||
metadata quality in a human-readable form.
|
||
|
||
### Plausi
|
||
|
||
Plausi analyzes an object's linked events (e.g. production, use, etc.) and identifies
|
||
logical inconsistencies. A warning may e.g. be returned, if:
|
||
|
||
- the stated artist of an artwork has died before the stated time of creation of the object.
|
||
- events contradict each other, such as a usage of the object supposedly taking place before
|
||
the object was created.
|
||
|
||
### Plausibility Check for Image Licenses
|
||
|
||
This check analyses an object's event and image metadata to check for potential licensing issues.
|
||
E.g., an object that has been created by people who have not lived since the 1800s, many
|
||
jurisdictions automatically retire copyright on the object and purely documentary photographies
|
||
thereof. Hence, a warning will be returned if such an object's representations are not marked
|
||
as in the public domain.
|
||
|
||
Similarly, almost all jurisdictions protect the works of living authors / artists. If the object's
|
||
creator can thus be identified as still alive or only recently deceased, while the object's
|
||
representations are licensed under a permissive license or marked as in the public domain,
|
||
a warning will be returned. Obviously, this means that warnings are returned even where the
|
||
actual artist licensed their works under a Creative Commons license. The plausibility check for image
|
||
licenses should hence *NEVER be used for fully automated editing*.
|
||
|
||
Optionally, a list of creators represented by copyright collectives may be provided. If
|
||
such a creator can be identified among the object's creators, the returned warning will
|
||
contain an additional notice about the creator being represented by one along with tips
|
||
on how to get in contact with the copyright collective.

||
