This article describes the development of a computerized collections management system at the POLA Museum of Art, which was inaugurated in 2002 in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture. After presenting current conditions in Japanese museums, some of the motivations for developing a new collections management system are outlined. Major considerations are the importance of photographic reproductions in art history research, as well as the key role of collections documentation in various areas of museum work. The system allows repetitive information to be stored for future use and its digital images serve as a fundamental resource in the realization of all aims of the museum, from scholarly to educational.

In this paper I attempt to clarify the following: first, the proper data collection range for a fine-arts related web site, and second, a good method for constructing a web site which efficiently displays the information which should be exhibited. Many web sites move or disappear. How should a fine-art related web site, which must treat such changing information, be constructed? I propose the following method is a good one. That is, it is a method for bringing together the data transferred, using the database function of Excel in one place, and maintaining only the data. Next, it is changing the CSV data into an HTML file using VBA. I explain the reason for making it an HTML file, using not XML but VBA. Finally, an example of a JADS site describes the procedure of data conversion.

The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) is a formal ontology to enable information integration and exchange for cultural heritage data. Today's museums' disparate, localized information can be transformed into global information resource by using ontology such as the CIDOC CRM. But museum experts may find that ontology is not familiar to them. This paper introduces the key concepts and functions of the CIDOC CRM, and shows how to model museum information with examples.
