From @WUlate in this Spanish thread
To me, “well managed” is one of the biggest challenges.
In the catalogues where there are single contact persons, or official contact persons, it is less probable that there will be duplicate records, but sometimes it can get very slow and bureaucratic. Ideally, registering institutions for projects should not contain repetitions of the same institution, but if each project manager is allowed to incorporate their version, it is probable that we end up (consciously or unwittingly) with multiple records for the same collection. For example: Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Organisation Registration. In this case then, we will have to be doing some curation on the collections directory. But, who will carry on the curation and decide which record remains?
Integration of collection managers, organizations’ representatives and donors in a shared agreement for use of the Catalogue as a tool could be the way to promote interest in improving the quality of the information.
