As an archaeological museum, we have the classifications for our specific contents, and they are being used to support topic related queries.

We added the sub-class. Work on Paper when we received a huge donation of, well, works on paper.

Some class. were created way back before TMS, to call up groups for a certain planned exhibition (Magic, Animal, Lighting…), and the staff still find them useful.

 

I’m sure some cleanup could be done, I could think about dividing Vessel into sub-class. (instead of using Object Name for types of vessels), but all in all we’re pretty happy with the list

Hello, TMSers!

 

We are reviewing our "Classification" field list. Would anyone be willing to share their classifications? Has anyone had any issue in searching on or reporting on sub-classifications?

 

Thank!

 

Fatima
