标题：CROATO-AEGYPTICA ELECTRONICA – DATABASE OF THE EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES IN CROATIAN MUSEUM AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS: DOCUMENTATION VS. COMMUNICATION APROACH
摘要：The paper is based on scientiÞ c and cultural project Croato-Aegyptica Electronica. In Croatia there are more than 4.030 Egyptian artefacts in 20 museums and unknown number in private collections (we presume around 1.000). The aim of our project is to select relevant material presenting the cultural Egyptian connections with Croatia both in the form of institutions and private collections. It will include all Egyptian museum and private collections in Croatia from Predynastic periods until the Arab conquest of Egypt in 7th century AD. Our main goal is to make an on-line public access catalogue of all artefacts that can be found in more than 20 collections in Croatia. As a database we have chosen M++ museum information system and we have managed to successfully import data from museums that already have documentation in machine-readable form. We also have managed to analyse and document almost 800 artefacts from museums without any information system. From July 2004 CAE database (111 artefacts and related visual documentation) is accessible online (www.croato-aegyptica.hr).
