        "software_introduction": "At museum-digital, we have developed a set of software solutions to facilitate an easy and inclusive process of digitization in museums. Originally, museum-digital was founded to publish object information online. We thus began by developing a <a href=\"\/software\/frontend\">public interface for viewing object information<\/a>.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nSince the original method of data input - the museums entered their data into their local database, sent it to the programmers, the programmers entered it to museum-digital - did not scale well, we then developed a simple online input interface, <a href=\"\/software\/musdb\">musdb<\/a>. Some museums, that did not yet have a dedicated database for inventorized data, but knew musdb well, began to ask additional inventory functionalities. And thus the approach of musdb changed: instead of being an input interface to a publication platform, it turned into an inventory tool with the option to publish.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nSoon after, requests for options to more thoroughly present digital narratives and stories became more frequent. While museum objects may be interesting by themselves, it is also a central task of museums to contextualize them. As a reaction to these requests, we created the <a href=\"\/software\/themator\">Themator<\/a> as an independent tool for writing and publishing stories online.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\nEarly on, when developing the main frontend and musdb, we decided to use controlled vocabularies for all databases of a given language. Internally, we use our \"norm data control tool\" <a href=\"\/software\/term_nodac\">nodac<\/a> for curating these. Since the vocabularies have grown considerably since, and have become a useful resource on their own by now, we have also developed a searchable frontend for these, <a href=\"\/software\/term_nodac\">md:term<\/a>.",
