Description

Excerpt

The basic description of the Intake Service goes here.

If you have a more extended description, you may want to select a portion of it (rather than the whole thing) as the excerpt that is shown on the main page. Just place the "excerpt" macros around the part you want to show up on the description page.

There will often be one main entity service, and then a set of relation services. The relation services are generally grouped with the main entity, and should be described there. E.g., for a Person service, a Person-to-Person relationship mapping would also be described. Where to put things will be a judgment call. E.g., for Contact info, the Person-Contact relation and the Organization-Contact relation services probably belong with the Contact service, but should perhaps be mentioned in Person and Organization, respectively.

Assumptions

  • Try to be explicit and exhaustive, but not pedantic.
    • ~pschmitz@berkeley.edu: If there is an active discussion or comment, you may want to call it out as a sub-bullet. This example also uses a color macro to call it out, and provides a link to a given user to indicate that this is a particular contributor's position.

Intake Service facilitates the set of activities that results in the initial intake of items into the organization. These activities typically involve recording the circumstances of the intake, such as information about the donor, depositor, or lender; and may also include valuation estimates and insurance information, condition information, and the like. Often, receipts are generated for person(s) or organization(s) that provided the objects.

Intake (or "Object Entry") occurs prior to, and is a separate and distinctive procedure, from the creation of object records, and from the Acquisition of specific collection objects into the organization's collection(s).

During Intake, only brief descriptive notes about the items received are typically entered. The creation of object records is not part of the Intake procedure. However, in practice, some institutions will also create corresponding object record(s) at Intake time, or soon thereafter.

Assumptions

  • It is often the case that at least one object record is also created at the time of Intake. However, not all Intakes result in the creation of object records.
  • In some instances, depending on organizational practice, a LoanIn or Acquisition event could also potentially take place at the time of Intake.
