The centimeter scale has been created as a part of the project ,
"International Documentation Standards for the Protection of Cultural
Objects", initiated and developed by the Getty Information Institute.
More details of the project and the core standards, called Object ID,
can be found under the Getty Information Institute's website at:
http://www.gii.getty.edu/pco/index.html
By its nature, the Art Loss Register was also involved in the Getty's
project, and presently offers a compact centimeter scale (10cm) with
standard colour bar scales incorporated. Its website introduces the
Object ID in Issue 7, May 1997, the Newsletter of the ALR which can be
read at: http://www.artloss.com/navnew2.htm
If anyone of Museum-L subscribers is interested in this kind of scale
or a larger one for their GENERAL purpose, I would suggest that s/he
should contact the Getty Information Institute, 1200 Getty Center
Drive, Suite 3000, Los Angeles, California 90049-1681, USA
(http://www.gii.getty.edu/pco) as well as the Art Loss Register.
Thanks.
