You are entitled to your opinions but I for one see the racking-up of
already sesious tensions in S.E. Asia to the nuclear level as very
relevant to the survival of museums and the cultural heritage.  (Just
think back to ex-Yugoslavia - where 90%+ of the fighting was at First
World War level in terms of weapons technologies.

However, in reply to your specific question the ICOM site and particularly
that of its Documentation Committee CIDOC already does this and has masses
on exactly your topic:   http://www.icom.org/CIDOC/

I can also offer a number of good jumping off points including guidance
on developing good web documents, for example, from my site:
http://www.city.ac.uk/artspol/

Obviously there are very many others but between just these two there's
more than enough to keep you busy for weeks!
