Abstract

The work addresses the issues of integrating museum objects into the Common Digital Space of Scientific Knowledge (CDSSK). It examines the evolution of a museum item from an isolated artifact to an "intelligent interface" – a linked element of a knowledge network. The technology for digitizing three-dimensional museum objects using spin-scanning is described. Using the collection of mushroom models from the State Biological Museum as an example, the process of incorporating objects into the CDSSK using structured data and interactive 3D models is demonstrated. The work is carried out within the framework of a state assignment and demonstrates the potential of the CDSSK as a universal environment for preserving and disseminating scientific heritage.
