CollectionSpace Profile Schema and ExtensioCollectionSpacen Inventory

CollectionSpace supports a wide range of domains. In order to facilitate adoption among disparate domains, we have developed a set of recommended configurations and extensions to the common CSpace data model. An extension is a group of fields added to a procedure (e.g. Loans) or authority (e.g. Geographic Location) to support the work of a specific domain, such as fine art or anthropology. A group of procedures, authorities, and extensions combined to support the work of a specific domain are referred to as that community's profile.

In the below table, the columns each represent an available CollectionSpace profile. The COMMON profile includes those fields and procedures common to most collecting organizations. Moving along the columns, each domain-specific profile includes a list of all available procedures, whether they have been configured to support the domain or use the common schema, and whether they include any extensions.

Templates to use when prepping your data for use with our CSV Import Tool can be found on GitHub.

Login details for each of the profile demos is available on the CollectionSpace public website: Community Profiles | CollectionSpace
