Data Standards

Standards are required to ensure data is structured in a consistent way, facilitating reliable reading and searching by users, and communication between systems. Standards provide the basis for sharing information.

Categories for the Description of Works of Art is a product of the Art Information Task Force (AITF), which encouraged dialog between art historians, art information professionals, and information providers so that together they could develop guidelines for describing works of art, architecture, groups of objects, and visual and textual surrogates.

Cataloguing Cultural Objects
