摘要

近年來，國內針對數位典藏議題的研究，多以教育應用、系統開發、數位內容，或是虛擬美術館、博物館的建置規劃等為主，對於在整個數位典藏系統中相當重要的典藏檢索介面的探討與研究卻不多見。以目前國內外典藏網站之檢索介面而言，大部分仍以文字表單做介面呈現。然而，隨著網路頻寬、多媒體呈現技術的進步，透過這些技術所做的視覺化介面能幫助人們在進行資訊操作時更有效率。基於此，本研究針對國內外較具代表性的美術館數位典藏網站之典藏檢索介面，進行功能項目以及視覺要素的分析探討，並綜合分析結果，提出並實作一個數位典藏檢索系統之視覺化介面原型，並以一個國內美術館的典藏資料庫進行原型測試。本研究經由相關的使用者測試，檢視設計概念之使用性與使用者互動滿意度表現。
研究結果初步顯示，在針對不同使用者背景之互動滿意度方面，本系統介面表現在平均水準之上，並經彙整問卷以及訪談結果，針對典藏檢索介面之功能規劃與視覺設計於結論提出相關設計建議。這些建議可歸納出在典藏檢索介面之設計應重視操作的連續性，且視覺設計上應著重提升介面資訊的可讀性。另外，加入資料過濾的概念可幫助使用者進行有效率的典藏資料檢索。

In recent years, there are plenty of researches on the applications of digital archives in various fields such as education, digital content, and virtual art galleries or museums. But relatively, fewer researches are stressed on the interface issue of digital archives. The majority of the retrieval interfaces of these archival sites are text-based with few dynamic interactions. As network bandwidth and multimedia display technology advances, visualized interfaces could be designed to help people utilize these digital contents more efficiently. We begin with the investigation of the visual elements and the functionality of the interface of the current web sites of several representative museums. Based on the results of this analysis, we design and implement a prototype for the digital archives system of an art museum with enhanced visualized user interface. We test the prototype by using the current collection of a national museum. We also check the usability and user satisfaction of our design concept by conduction a series of user studies. The preliminary findings show that on the subjective satisfaction from different users’ operation, the acceptance of the prototype’s interface is above the average. Through the results of questionnaires and interviews, we propose several suggestions on the function and visual design of the interface. These recommendations could be summarized as the interface design should focus on the continuity of operations and the visual design should focus on enhancing the readability of information. In addition, the concept of data filtering could help users in the efficiency of information retrieval.
