Cataloging Review and Comment Page - Botanical Garden Extension Set and Profile

Review and Comment Instructions

This Review and Comment page is for the CATALOGING PROCEDURE with all recommended extensions included. Cataloging is the compilation and maintenance of key information, formally identifying and describing objects. It need not bring together in one location everything known about an object, but should provide cross references to any other relevant information source known to the organisation.

  1. Review the fields present in the schema page linked below, and ask the following questions in relation to your organization:
    1. Is this procedure necessary to manage my collections?
    2. If so, are all the fields needed to manage my collection present? If not, what would we need to add?
    3. Are there field that are not useful? If so, what would we delete?
  2. Contribute your comments to the project team via the comment box at the bottom of this page
  3. Stay tuned for further iterations as community critiques are factored in

Please download the spreadsheet and either add any comment directly to this wiki page, or add comments to the spreadsheet, save with your initials, and add as an attachment to this page. In the spreadsheet, fields in black are those recommended for inclusion in the anthropology extension, fields in green are proposed additions, and fields in red are in the default configuration and recommended for exclusion.
