The structure of the state database of cultural heritage registration and information is shown below (Fig. 1. Based on the registration form, the "RICH" or "Registration of Immovable Cultural Heritage" software was created.
Data from the registration and information state database can be searched and used in statistical analysis regarding the historical and cultural immovable properties in the territory of Mongolia. It is a priority that the information about ICH carriers is stored in the digital database.
The services of the registration and information database and the relevant registration officers have just been established. Only some of the first paper registration forms in the registration and information database have been uploaded. All data related to historical and cultural real estate in the registration and information status database must be stored in the software RICH.
Due to the difficulties in the equipment of the documentation, there are some problems in the daily activities of the division and the creation of the database.
Improvement of Diagnostic Equipment of the Center of Cultural Heritage
Registration is not adequately carried out in accordance with the registration form due to insufficient methods, equipment and finances. Improvement of diagnostic equipment of the Center of Cultural Heritage” in 2009 and it was implemented in 2013 through Japanese Cultural Grant Aid. Three-dimensional documentation of museum objects and historical and cultural immovable properties is undertaken using Vivid 9i and the collected data is stored in the digital database.
Based on collected data from 3D measurements, virtual restoration work has been carried out for some real estates (Fig. 11.
National Project for Digitization of Cultural Heritage-2
It will serve to improve the registration and documentation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, as well as to create a registration and information database. For museum objects and artifacts, it will improve the activity of the registration and information database in museums and research organizations; it will enable research and investigation of objects and to use the research results in the registration;. For intangible cultural heritage, it will improve the intangible cultural heritage registration system and create an intangible cultural heritage registration and information database; it helps increase the number of ICH items on the List of Need of Urgent Safeguarding and the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Abstract At the National Museum of Ethnology, Japan (Minpaku), ImageFinder is designed to connect different types of information about an object through a new digital device: people search for information not by using text, but images of the objects. These examples show that rapid advances in digital device design and the growth of the Internet community have changed the way information about exhibitions and the museum itself is presented. I show how ImageFinder and MAP can provide information and then discuss the meaning of information provision in the museum.
I focus mainly on the mobility and collectivity of information and discuss the possibility of using these methods outside the museum.
When we understand that the information we can offer to visitors is limited, we become aware of the strict conditions for offering information. Insufficient information about an object or an exhibition can give visitors not only insufficient understanding, but also a wrong understanding. It is a main aim of Minpaku to make visitors deepen their understanding of the history and culture of human society through the exhibits.
The second reason, more importantly, was that the new device was expected to encourage visitors to search for the information themselves. When we see an object for the first time and are interested in it, we try to gather information. We hoped that visitors would go through the same process as we did in our fieldwork.
So we thought about a way for people to search for information, not by text, but by using images of the objects.
In that case, it may be possible to provide and collect "big data" from the museum. We tend to think that an exhibition needs information about the objects in the exhibition or the museum itself. The museum could always open it to the public through other methods than the exhibitions.
Information in a museum doesn't have to stay in a museum.
Summary Two specially tailored computer programs have been developed at the National Museum of Ethnology, Japan to facilitate the analysis of the museum environment: a data analysis program for pest monitoring; and a temperature/relative humidity (RH) analysis program for monitoring data. These analysis programs improve the understanding of the museum environment and support efficient and rapid discovery of any anomalies from a preventive conservation perspective. For example, a comparative study of the results of the temperature and humidity control under the normal regime and under the energy-saving regime was conducted, based on actual measurements, and enabled the use of a more energy-efficient air conditioning system since fiscal year 2014. .
For the next development, it is planned to include these analytical programs in “data analysis small packages” that can be freely used by other museums and related institutions.
For this purpose, the National Museum of Ethnology in Japan developed two specially adapted computer programs to facilitate the analysis of the museum environment: a pest monitoring data analysis program and a temperature/relative humidity monitoring data analysis program. These analytical programs contribute to a better understanding of the actual state of the museum environment and to the effective and rapid detection of possible irregularities from a preventive conservation point of view. Based on this, a new development is underway at the National Museum of Ethnology in Japan to improve these analysis programs into "small analysis packages" for the museum environment that can be used free of charge by any other institution.
This article first describes examples of computer-aided analysis of the museum environment conducted at the National Museum of Ethnology, Japan, and then briefly describes the ongoing development of the analysis programs.
Daily Use
Given that museum collections, especially those in a museum of ethnology, are often composed of organic materials that are susceptible to insect and fungal attack, control of the museum environment is an important task. The original trap mapping program, based on Microsoft Excel, is an effective tool to visualize the geographical concentration of the pests and the distribution of the pest species. As an example, the traps mapping of the results of our research in winter 2015 is given in Fig.
The geographical concentration of pests is shown; the darker the color, the more concentrated the number of trapped pests.
Advanced Use
We note that very few pests are caught in the storage zone (dark gray area). At the beginning of the study, book lice were mainly found in the warehouse and gallery zones, but are now observed mainly in the second zone. Beetles are caught mainly in the storage and gallery zones, although their numbers have clearly decreased in recent years.
This can be attributed to the density of the objects in the storage zone.
Daily Use
Another possible reason is that, compared to the gallery zone, the objects in the storage zone are not exposed to human eyes as often, preventing early detection. Therefore, it was decided that various storage rooms are cleaned regularly, which ends with a quick IPM inspection of all the items stored in the respective rooms.
Advanced Use
Under the power saving regime, the air conditioning is switched off during the transition periods. The annual RH difference was greater under the power saving regime than under the normal regime. From all these observations, it was concluded that the temperature and humidity control level was acceptable under both regimes except the summer period under the power saving regime.
In summer, however, much larger ellipses were observed under power-saving regime, indicating larger temperature and RH fluctuations.
Both the “Pest Monitoring Data Analysis Small Package” and the “Temperature/RH Monitoring Data Analysis Small Package” are designed on the same principles: simple and easy to use for anyone, without needing any special training followed. The “Create Chart” button is used to go to a window with settings for charts and/or charts. In the case of the analysis of temperature/RH monitoring data, we can choose between graphs or temperature/RH distribution maps.
The "Delete" button is used to go to a delete window from which we can delete acquired data.
