Comparación de software para la publicación de un archivo fotográfico.

The management of photographic archives presents special challenges compared to textual documents. Beyond the specific requirements regarding the organization and preservation of photographic documents, the automated management of photographic archives must take into account different aspects. Firstly, the fact that it is a visual medium - photography - requires search and navigation systems for the user that integrate not only the image of photography but also fields of visual description. Photographic archives are also presented on a variety of supports, each of them with their specific requirements in terms of preservation and handling. This information, although not necessarily required by the end users, is essential for the archivist for whom the computer system must be able to report on existing versions of the document and the interventions made on them. Finally the representation of the context in automated systems, requires the linking of the photographic document with other entities, such as people, entities or documents with which it relates. The present contribution relates the process of selection and test of AtoM (version 2 of the Ica-Atom software), Koha, Dspace and Omeka computer systems for the management and accessibility of the Plate Archive of the Astronomical Observatory of Cordoba
