This wiki is intended to support the normative definitions by providing further information on the terms and concepts represented in the Latimer Core (LtC) standard, and guidance on how the standard may be used in practice. The wiki content does not form part of the LtC standard itself (it is non-normative) and may be modified, improved and extended over time.

Rationale

The classes and properties in the first version of the LtC standard were primarily intended to allow for the description of natural history collections, as such they reflect the categories of specimens, objects and items most usually associated with them. This should however, not in any way preclude future developments by other expert groups to include different types of collections.
