Abstract: 
The present study uses model wikidata elements as a basis and explores its dynamic formation into a cultural heritage information management tool within a museum. Large museums are faced with the problem of documenting the vast number of their collections and in many cases only a portion of their holdings are on display whilst the rest is in store. However, the information embedded in every museum object can be extracted, presented, and used by researchers and the public alike. The registration of these objects into museum catalogs is not only a means of securing their ownership but also a way of depicting the information they carry. The formation of such registries requires human labor and expertise along with historical, artistic, cultural, technical or other specialized knowledge for augmenting the necessary metadata and giving meaning to the artefact. Technology can be of help and crowdsourcing technologies such as wiki-based ones do offer valuable help and knowledge expansion mechanisms.
