Hello:
One of the declared goals of the SGS Pilot 1[1] is the bundling of museology practices for very small GLAM institutions. I've just found the SPECTRUM[2] body of procedures and I'm amazed. My problem is the Collection Trust explicitly prohibit derived works:
«Under no circumstances may you develop products or services which may be deemed commercially to compete with the products or services of the Collections Trust, its partners or affiliates. For the purposes of clarity, this shall be understood to include translations, localisations or derivative works, the creation of which shall in all cases be subject to express prior written consent from the Collections Trust.»
The first thought is obviously to email the Trust to ask about any potential of releasing under a Wikimedia compatible license but I guess this would be a failed attempt, especially because I'm a nobody for them with zero influence potential.
The second thought is to look for an open alternative. So, here I am: does anyone knows and opensource alternative to de SPECTRUM standard? If not so comprehensive, something advanced enough to use a knowledge base.
Thanks.
