Loan Out Service Description and Assumptions

Description

The Loan Out Service represents the information around documenting and managing the loan of objects to other organizations or individuals for a specific period of time and for a specific purpose, normally exhibition/display, but including research, conservation, photography and education.

Assumptions

• Try to be explicit and exhaustive, but not pedantic.
  • Patrick Schmitz (Unlicensed): 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.

Subtopic

• More assumptions around peripheral subject
  • Ex. An example of the case
• Yet another assumption
  • Details of the assumption
    • Nitty-gritty detail 1
    • Nitty-gritty detail 2

Key Concepts

• Especially things that become common sense, and so usually missed by new reviewers

Dependencies

This is bound to an individual CollectionObject, or to some grouping like an Exhibition or perhaps even a Collection. The Loan has some temporal aspects, and may also have some workflow state associated with the planning and execution of a loan. Will definitely need to be able to produce reports like "loans outstanding" (possibly by organization loaned-to, etc.), "loans to and from some organization," etc.

The Loan entity will also associate to Organization, Movement, Insurance, and Person entities, among others.
