LIDO is an XML schema that allows museums to share metadata about their collections in a standardized way. It was created to deliver descriptive information about museum objects, such as art, culture, technology, and natural science, to various online services like collection databases and aggregation portals. LIDO supports multilingual environments and individual data providers can decide how much or how little metadata to contribute for each record. It also allows linking contributed metadata back to the original collection records.
