EODEM update 9

This is a very short post, to give a bit more information about release dates for EODEM importers and exporters in collections management systems.

  • EODEM will be included in the next release of Modes, version 1.6, due before the end of 2023.
  • Gallery Systems anticipate including EODEM in TMS Collections version 2024 (9.95), scheduled for release in May 2024.

I also gather that Axiell will be working on incorporating EODEM into Axiell Collections in 2024. And of course EODEM is already available in the current releases of MuseumPlus and musdb.

  1. EODEM is the CIDOC Documentation Standards Working Group’s project to create an Exhibition Object Data Exchange Model, and see it implemented in collections management systems worldwide – but then, you knew that. []
