The last months have been busy, off and on museum-digital. This is the first of three posts today on recent technical developments around museum-digital to continue the regular state of dev posts.
Development
musdb
- Added a tool for the AI-aided detection of displayed subjects in images for tagging
- Has to be explicitly turned on on a per-collection basis, as it makes sense only for certain types of objects (like paintings, drawings, photographs)
- Usable within the tagging overlay on object editing pages
- See also: blog post about the feature (German)
- The maximum length of contents in the data field “edition” of literature entries has been extended to 50 characters
- Uploaded PDFs may now be up to 40 MB large
- New command line option to reset all permissions of a user account to the default provided by their user role
- New event type: “Changed”
nodac
- Added AI-generated suggestions for tag definitions and translations of tag names in a sidebar
- This is also re-used to identify duplicate tags
Dissemination
- Poster presented at CoRDI 2025 (Archived) on August 27, 2025, in Aachen: “To Educate or to Enforce – The Case for Underhanded Methods to Improve Research Data”
