WE HAVE SUNSET THIS LISTSERV - Join us at collectionspace@lyrasislists.org
View all threadsAs you may recall, SMK (Statens Museum for Kunst: National Gallery
of Denmark) recently contributed a Citation Authority module to
CollectionSpace.
This is a status update: to mention that this contribution is on
track to be included in CollectionSpace's next release, version 3.2.3.
You can see a preview of its current state of integration here
(noting with apologies the terse, nonsensical data in this screen
shot):

We're also planning to make this "live" on a public server, so that
you can try it out as early as sometime next week (the week beginning
Tuesday, May 28, 2013, after the US Memorial Day holiday).
As SMK's Kim Brasen wrote, describing both SMK's - and what we
believe will be typical - uses of this authority:
"Our intention is to use the Citation Authority as a library module
in CS and make references between our catalogued works of art and
literature records; books as monographs or anthologies, articles in
periodicals or journals, exhibition catalogues etc."
Thanks are due once again to Kim, Sébastien Brossard, and others at
SMK who worked on this contribution, as well as the many people across
the community, including colleagues here at Berkeley, who contributed
to defining this authority's schema and functionality.
