Hi Andrea,
For recent online collections work* at the Ashmolean Museum we've worked
successfully with Keepthinking (http://www.keepthinking.it/), and use their
content/collection management system "Qi" (http://www.keepthinking.it/qi),
though we're using the latter mostly as a content management system, rather
than as our main collections management system, bringing in our collections
data from Zetcom's MuseumPlus 5.5.
* e.g. http://jameelcentre.ashmolean.org and http://ruskin.ashmolean.org
We still in the process of migrating to the latest version of "Qi", but it
seems impressive so far,
regards
Paul
