Web-based Framework and Search Engine Analytics for Thematic Virtual Museums

Abstract

Web is the most powerful platform to handle time, distance and space limitation in physical museum institutions. Based on recent web technology, we have been design web pages more responsive, interactive and dynamic. Web framework is designed to develop dynamic website which have a good structure, providing common library, URL mapping, session and security again attacker, database manipulation, template to generating textual output, light-weight, and often providing concept Model-View-Controller (MVC). Thematic Virtual museums system has been developing based on Go Language web programming because we are pay for attention to the performance. A language which suitable for modern computing infrastructure, light on the page, good on networking and multiprocessing. In the future development process, thematic virtual museum will be built on two sides they are from curator and visitor side. Curator will be able to provide or display a visualization of interactive contents and exhibitions with the help of analytics software that will be integrated in this framework. As our work in development of Virtual Museum in Indonesia as instrumental for supporting the achievement of the museum functions as a whole. Thematic virtual museum will be providing Data Access Layer (DAL) or Application Programming Interface (API) for integrating and accessing data sources in museum institutions. This engine working to extracting and obtain relevant information from data sources, designing to understand structure data in current database or semantically tagged of museum institutions where they used to store collections information, and system also support to manage unstructured data that have not define data-model or semantic. In this paper, we have informed our progress about development web-based framework using Go Language for thematic virtual museums, concept and design of Search Engine Analytics as a core of this system to provide closest information to the visitors align with the approach of thematic virtual museum which can be used to process data or information inside museum institutions.
