Hi all,
LIDO is one of the reason why MIMO (musical instrument museums
online) was successful and continue to welcome new Museums from all over
the world. It is simple to understand for both IT persons and Curators. We
haven't benefit from the potential of the event based data, but I'm sure we
will in the future as we have many events describing repair and
restauration tasks.
Best,
Rodolphe
