Resources
Links to a wide variety of museums resources, including museum organisations, data standards and vocabularies used in cataloguing.
Organisations For Museums
Professional bodies exist around the world to foster the
museums community and provide guidance and assistance on
in all areas of the museum workplace. Many of these
organisations are specific to a particular region or
country.
Data Standards
National and International Standards have developed for
how data is recorded and transferred. Existing
standards cover both the overall structure (in terms of
how the cataloguing information can be broken into
individual elements) and guidelines for the style and
formatting of individual fields of information.
Vocabularies
Authority lists (also known as vocabularies, thesauri,
pick lists or term lists) are carefully constructed
lists of terminology that are used in cataloguing to
ensure consistency. Vernon Systems has worked with a
number of different authority lists which can be used in
Vernon.
