Minimum Record Recommendation for Museums and Collections (v1.0.1) - Poster

The Minimum Record Recommendation aims to raise awareness of data quality through a low-threshold and easily accessible approach. The goal of data quality is achieved by adhering and mapping the recommendation to international documentation standards like CIDOC CRM and LIDO. At the same time, the data model takes a simplified approach to complex documentation tasks and defines the bare minimum for describing objects and network them in aggregation contexts. It is intended especially for the requirements of “small” museums and collections, and it can be easily implemented with existing systems. The recommendation is a project by a working group initiated by members from the German Digital Library, working together with stakeholders from the German museums sector including representatives from the university collections network. The presentation will introduce the recommendation as it was released this year. Its authors hope for and invite lively further feedback from the stakeholder group of university collections
