Spectrum 5.0 Cataloguing — Units of Information (data dictionary)
Every catalogue record is built from "units of information" (fields). Spectrum tags each one with a constraint that maps directly to how we should model it:
| Spectrum phrase | Modelling implication |
|---|---|
| use a standard format | normalized/validated value (date, number, identifier pattern) |
| use a standard term source | controlled vocabulary / term list (eg Getty AAT, KulturNav) |
| use a standard form of name | authority record (person / organisation / place) — store once, link many |
| (none) | free text |
The recurrence of "term source" and "form of name" is the core architectural signal: most fields are references to controlled vocabularies or authority records, not free strings. This is the same point the raa.se technical-functions and datastandarder pages make (authority posts, controlled vocabulary, link-don't-duplicate).
Core inventory minimum (must contain or link to)
These are the accountability minimum — present (or linked) on every record.
