Location Information

Motivation for this unit has been the LocationInformation Group of the International Guidelines for Museum Object Information: The CIDOC Information Categories and other domain expert knowledge, as well as interpretation of characteristic database schema elements from relevant collection management systems.

According to the International Guidelines for Museum Object Information: The CIDOC Information Categories, location information supports Security, Accountability, and Access. Without Location information it is not possible to fulfil the basic responsibilities of a museum, in that the custodian should always know where objects are and be able to provide physical access when necessary. In relation to location the following information categories should be recorded:

  1. Current location
  2. Current location type
  3. Current location date
  4. Normal location
