Call for tender xCurator

The Allard Pierson and the Badisches Landesmuseum are looking for experienced and enthusiastic software developers who will develop a Proof of Concept for an AI-based application for collection access, called “xCurator”, within the Creative User Empowerment project.

Creative User Empowerment

The Creative User Empowerment (CUE) project is a collaboration between the Badisches Landesmuseum Karlsruhe and the Allard Pierson. CUE will use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to unlock heritage collections through an Open Source tool called xCurator.

With the development of the open-source tool xCurator, AI technologies will be used to automatically provide new, personalized access to the content of the museums and link it to in-depth external information levels.
