Dear David, Many thanks for this. Let's hope it becomes a de facto standard. I'm going to ask the museums of Surrey if they're happy to go this way. Some people are going to be confused by the presence of methodology-defined terms (archaeology), materials terms (costume and textiles), functional terms (health) and period terms (past societies), not realising that an excavated Viking bandage can and should appear under all those headings. Does cornocopia have plans to develop image links to the top levels?

We are planning to extend this to cover museums across the country - so are currenty starting on the designated museums that aren't in the pilot areas of the SW and W Midlands.
