Minimum Record Recommendation for Museums and Collections

More and more museums and collections are realising the benefits of publishing and sharing data about their objects on the Web. However, the FAIR Principles, the complexities of exchange formats, and portal-specific requirements pose significant challenges for collections staff. To address these, the Minimum Record Recommendation for Museums and Collections has been developed as a practical guide to ensure consistency and sufficient data quality at a core level. It specifies the smallest possible intersection of key data elements for the online publication of object information across disciplines and museum types. This article presents the Recommendation. It also discusses the motivation, the priorities and the approach in its development, then describes some practical application scenarios and its reception by the professional community since its publication in May 2024.
