# Reference material

Build-time reference material — prior art, definitions, and domain guidance we read
while designing this collection management system (samlingsförvaltningssystem). These
are durable, greppable source artifacts, **not** documentation of this project's own
code. Each file carries a `source:` header with the original URL and retrieval date.

## Collections Trust — Spectrum 5.0 (primary source)

The actual standard, not just guidance about it. Transcribed from the official PDF.

| [spectrum-5.0-cataloguing.md](spectrum-5.0-cataloguing.md) | Cataloguing procedure — definition, scope, the Spectrum standard (policy questions + minimum requirements), suggested procedure, and the **full unit-of-information / field list** (the closest thing to a canonical object data model). License: Spectrum licence. |
| [spectrum-5.0-cataloguing-units-of-information.md](spectrum-5.0-cataloguing-units-of-information.md) | **Data dictionary** for the above — every field with its constraint (term source / form of name / format / free text) and a link to its canonical Collections Trust definition page. The field-level reference for schema design. |
