Have you examined common formats, or key partners that you need to order to succeed? If you try to solve for everyone, you will need huge amounts of resources.

Have you examined common formats, or key partners that you need to order to succeed? If you try to solve for everyone, you will need huge amounts of resources. OTOH, if you build for a few high profile partners, you can leverage that social proof to use their file format as a standard. IE, get the long tail onboard once they see aspiration examples, then influence their choice of file formats (or ask them to invest in data entry).
Don't be all things to all people, you need to define scopes and phases. Think like a PM.
- dmje 5y agoYeh, there's some common schemas as museums share a smallish range of collection databases. But...they tend to use them in their own unique way, which is where the complexity comes in. You're right about the big players, however project traditionally target these guys and we're keen to help the little ones...
- edmundsauto 5y agoDoes every small museum create their own format? If so, how did they do this, and can that person output data to your specification? If there are software providers that output the data, maybe you can standardize on their format. You can focus on servicing the long tail and still will need to prioritize.
