GUIDELINES FOR CATALOGUE PRODUCTION Mimimum Data Set: General definition |
 |
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is the set of data that is asked to describe each product from each collection. Each catalogue field has to be filled in (use a dash - if no information is given, when allowed).
The MDS is required from new collection centres when they join CABRI.
The Recommended Data Set (RDS): collection centres are also asked to supply data for recommended fields; however, if data are not available, the product is still acceptable
Collection centres are free to provide data for other fields, which are part of the Full Data Set.
A general MDS can be applied to each type of collections :
| Identification | accession number, name |
| Origin | description, depositor, history.. |
| Properties | |
| Culture conditions | medium, subculture routines... |
| Restrictions | |
| Hazard | |
| Bibliography | Reference paper, links to other projects |
