FAIRsharing record for: Lightweight Information Describing Objects Terminology

This FAIRsharing record describes: The LIDO terminology is a supplement to LIDO - Lightweight Information Describing Objects, an XML schema for providing metadata on objects of material culture and cultural heritage. It complements the LIDO specification with the aim of improving the interoperability of object descriptions between different collections. This is achieved by introducing controlled vocabularies for specific elements and attributes within the LIDO XML schema. The LIDO terminology has been developed for elements and attributes for which there are no suitable controlled vocabularies. They are available partly as controlled lists and partly as structured vocabularies.
Wherever possible, the definition of terms is based on or refers to authoritative sources (e.g. CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model or the Art & Architecture Thesaurus).
