PS - on a more helpful note - as well as technical acronyms that people
working in museums may come across, this can helpfully extend to include
museum acronyms that technical people working with museums may encounter. I
think of the Venn diagram of museums and tech - there are acronyms from both
worlds, and some which arise in the intersection area, which some museum
people won't have encountered before, and some tech people won't have either.
Off the top of my head:
Tech acronyms that might be useful for museum people includes
JP2
PTIF
ConMS
ColMS
DAMS
Solr
CRM
AWS
XML
JSON
REST
API
OCR
LOD
RDF
DRM
UUID
Museums-for-tech-people includes
TGN
AAT
DACS
VAGA
ARS
AAMD
RTI
ROI! (sorry)
Somewhere in the middle includes
METS
TEI
AIP
ALTO
EAD
LIDO
CIDOC-CRM
OAIS
OAI-PMH
DCMI
BagIt
PREMIS
My head feels better without that lot on top of it.
