Decolonization discussion with Zoumana, Lionell, Seda
http://diversions.lan/pad/p/decolonize_ZLS

Questions:
    Transition to Museum+RIA? Whose the IT personnel now, can we talk with them? Which modules did they purchase? What's agreement on the data? What's the format, what do they with it?
    How was the decision made for the software? What's the vision, does he know?
    Belgian company and what happened there? Could they salvage anything? Was there software beforehand? 
    Are they any standards that they use? 
    How do they decide on the fields? Is it decided between It, collections and e-collections? What are the international relation of structuring collections?
    What they had locally and then had to teach the CMS to do? Or, training for curators? Any sort of troubles...
    Multilinguality and software?
    Inputing relations between objects is difficult, are there similar problems?
    Collective access: is used a lot in Belgium but by flemish institutions (CMS). Have they heard of it before?
