Object Entry Information

Motivation for this graph has been the Object EntryInformation 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, Object entry information supports Security, Accountability, Access, and an Historic archive. Enabling the recording of information about objects in a museum's custody but which it does not necessarily own, Object entry information should be recorded for objects deposited temporarily or on loan to the museum. It should include the following information categories:

1. Current owner
2. Depositor
3. Entry date
4. Entry number
5. Entry reason
