Digital Objects: McDonald’s Glassware

Back when I was a child I remember having cups from Mcdonald’s some of them were from movies and some were about the Mcdonald’s characters so I decided to do the assignment based on images of the Mcdonald’s characters. While the images and the information don’t exactly match what I had as a child they did remind me of them so that’s what I chose. I added five images that had to do with the same resource the McDonald’s cups made by Coca Cola from 1977, Grimace, Ronald Mcdonald, Birdie, Hamburglar, and Big Mac. Here are the links

I chose to use DublinCore for the extra descriptions and metadata outside of what we were assigned to use because DublinCore is more universal and standard terms where most users might be able to find information in various fields of information that they are looking for. Primarily Class, Title, Rights, Creator, Date, Description, Format, Language, Place, and Subject. Let’s say you were looking for this information in an online card catalog of a library. Most users would be able to find what they are looking for based on most commonalities such as title, language, format, etc. Dublin Core alone has many other ways these items could be described.

Digital exhibits have significant implications within the larger context of museums, offering new types of audience interaction and enhancing the overall visitor experience. Some of the key implications and benefits of digital exhibits include increased accessibility, enhanced engagement, expanded content, personalized experiences, collaborative learning, and cost-effectiveness.
