We are reviewing our data and content standards.  If your museum collects a very wide variety of items, and you have a guide with data entry instructions and standards for TMS that you are willing to share, I’d love to have a copy.

If you are using Chenhall’s as your authority in TMS in addition to or instead of Getty AAT for cataloging object names in TMS, would you please let me know what your experience has been like?

Please reply off the list.

Thank you.
