‣ The challenge
“The challenge which we face as a community is to move on from standards and systems which promote ‘vertical’ information management within separate organisational functions like conservation, documentation, outreach, education or finance, and towards a more integrated, holistic and horizontal approach based on enterprise-wide knowledge and information management.”
Nick Poole, CEO, Collections Trust, 2012
