Collection management • CIDOC does not provide an entity denoting that a collection is the result of a specific development and management plan. • Therefore, we propose the addition of a new activity which may be called "Curation Activity (or "Accrual Activity"), and a new property called "plans/is planned" with domain the "Curation Activity" and range the entity Collection (E 78). 8
