IPIKklassifisering

IPIKklassifisering is a classification system used in the Netherlands to categorize and manage the inventory of cultural heritage objects. It is maintained by the Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (Dutch Service for Cultural Heritage), which is part of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.

The system is designed to provide a standardized way to describe and categorize objects, making it easier to manage and preserve them. IPIKklassifisering includes a hierarchical structure with several levels, ranging from broad categories to specific types of objects. The top level categories are based on the type of object, such as architecture, sculpture, painting, or furniture.

Each object is assigned a unique identifier within the IPIKklassifisering system, which allows for easy retrieval and management of information. The classification also includes metadata fields for additional details, such as the creator, date, material, and dimensions of the object.

The primary goal of IPIKklassifisering is to support the preservation, research, and accessibility of cultural heritage. By providing a standardized classification system, it helps museums, archives, and other cultural institutions to better organize their collections and share information with the public and researchers.

The system is continually updated to reflect changes in the cultural heritage landscape and to incorporate new types of objects. It is used by both public and private institutions, as well as by individuals involved in the preservation and study of cultural heritage.
