Hello, I finished writing the cataloguing manual for the art collections (our rare books and manuscripts are catalogued in MARC format in the library wide system) at the Center a few months ago and heavily relied on CDWA/CCO. A CCO/TMS group would be fantastic!

For each area of cataloging I am defining crosswalks between TMS, CCO, and other schemas, and documenting where our current practice differs from CCO. I'd love to be a part of discussion in this area, so count me in!

There seems to be a lot of information on the Internet about standard, but very little about the actual implementation of the standard in a real live museum. Please contact me even if you are only interested in this topic, maybe we can form some kind of working group.
