The national ICT strategy for Scotland�s museums recognises the fact that museums need to have access to clear and practical introductory guidance on technical standards.
In 2004-2005, we commissioned the Centre for Digital Library Research (CDLR) at the University of Strathclyde to produce a report identifying relevant existing technical standards for a range of electronic content types. The CDLR�s research formed the basis for this document, which is designed to provide museums with good practice guidance on the technical aspects of ICT.
