Collection Registration & Quality Control
Normalisation
Clean up inconsistent field values and bring more unity to your collection data. Registrations become more consistent, easier to search and more useful for management, research and access.
Field values in collection records often appear in different forms. Materials may be described in several ways, dimensions may use different notations and terms may vary by period, department or staff member. This makes data less consistent and hinders searching, comparison and reuse. With Normalisation, we help clean up these differences and standardise field values, creating more coherence in registration and a more reliable basis for collection management and digital access.
We help clean up and normalise inconsistent field values in collection records. Variations in spelling, notation and terminology are brought together into a clear and consistent form. This may involve materials, dimensions, techniques, object names or other common fields. Your data becomes easier to compare, search and use in management, migration, research and public-facing applications. Substantive review remains with your team so that normalisation fits the collection context carefully.
