Nomenclature in collections management systems
The following tables show the various versions of Nomenclature that vendors have implemented in their collections management systems.
Tables 1 to 3 include current or almost-current versions of Nomenclature; Table 4 is the 2015 version of Nomenclature and Table 5 is the 2010 version. The tables also show the date on which the implementation was confirmed.
Note to vendors: if your collections management system does not appear in the tables, it is because we do not know which version of Nomenclature you have implemented. Please contact the Canadian Heritage Information Network to request an update.
