"The department of Collection Information & Access at the J. Paul Getty Museum is seeking an Information Architect to oversee the back-end structure, data models, systems and applications used by the Museum to support the management and dissemination of documentation, digital assets, and metadata on the collection and to ensure its accessibility in the networked environment. The Information Architect will lead efforts in restructuring the way information is stored, systems integrated, and data published so as best to ensure efficiency in processes, scalability and sustainability, and resource discovery. This will involve architectural designs, analysis, integration, and strategic direction for how best to manage existing enterprise-wide applications such as collections management, content management and digital asset management systems with other custom grown applications and open source solutions, in addition to overseeing data modeling and strategies that are system independent. The position will be responsible for the maintenance of data models, data dictionaries, and processes; work with technical staff across the Getty to build mechanisms for exchanging data and metadata between repositories; and work closely with user communities for requirements analysis, problem definition and solutions development."
