Artefacts Canada Standardization : Analysis and Recommendations
The report, "Artefacts Canada Standardization: Analysis and Recommendations" has been completed by the Société des musées québécois (SMQ). It includes a summary of priorities for cleanup of many fields within Artefacts Canada, a detailed analysis of problems within each field, and a proposal for a cleanup strategy. CHIN will use this report to direct our data cleanup project, and the Working Groups will benefit from the detailed field analysis.
