ABSTRACT
The purpose of this investigation is to present challenges and solutions in the process of designing database from a special data. This includes data gathered in the process of digitization and organization of cultural artifacts. We present some basic steps and algorithms for development of digital archives of information gathered from artifacts, analysis, optimization, and addition of metadata for indexing of digital data, compression and data protection, prevention of data loss, and design. We investigate the methods of protection with watermarking which can be used against illegal use of data. We illustrate our methods with two such concrete archives.
