Sig-Gen

Sig-Gen is designed to create a Statement of Significance for museum objects.
Significance is based on four criteria:
AESTHETICS eg Form, colour, texture,patina
HISTORY of the object
SCIENTIFIC value of the object
CULTURAL importance of the object.
Each criteria is scored on a scale 1 (low) to 5 (high).
PROVENANCE
(eg where used and by whom) adds value to the object's significance. The free app allows 2 provenances for each object, pro allows unlimited provenance records
The app creates a statement based on the cultural value which is the sum of the criteria, the provenance data and advises on the object's conservation.
The resulting cultural value can be used to prioritise actions in maintaining a collection.
The resulting statement can be edited if required and emailed to be included in the object's main data file.
