This publication presents three internationally agreed standards for the documentation of the cultural heritage: the Core Data Index to Historic Buildings and Monuments of the Architectural Heritage, the International Core Data Standard for Archaeological Sites and Monuments, and the core data standard for identifying cultural objects—Object ID. The standards have been brought together in a single publication to provide a readily accessible guide for use by those responsible for documenting the archaeological, architectural, and movable heritage.
