3 DC Collections AP “The DC Collections AP is intended to provide a means of creating simple descriptions of collections and catalogues or indices suitable for a broad range of collections. It is designed primarily to support the discovery and selection of collections, though it may be used to support other functions such as collection management too.” [

8 Collection management CIDOC does not provide an entity denoting that a collection is the result of a specific development and management plan. Therefore, we propose the addition of a new activity which may be called "Curation Activity (or "Accrual Activity"), and a new property called "plans/is planned" with domain the "Curation Activity" and range the entity Collection (E78).
