Semiological perspective to the organisation of knowledge in museums

This paper deals with some characteristics of museum objects within the museological context and it tries to explain reasons why museum information systems are hardly ever covering all aspects of museum work and why it is not always easy to document even the complete physical description of objects in the museum information systems. Semological concepts were used to analyse the museum object and to determine reasons why its information processing is different from information processing in other fields related to cultural heritage. The comparison was made between museum object and book in the library in order to see why museum information systems are considered to be more complex then library information systems and still do not share the same standards that would allow simple exchange of information between different museums (although the progress has been made in this field).
