Museums face challenges in the 21st century as most still operate as they did in the 1800s. New challenges include the need for community collaboration, leadership, and a standardized information exchange format. While frameworks exist, like the Museum Computer Network in the US and Archives for the 21st Century in the UK, developing a single unified framework is difficult due to cultural differences. The Getty framework has attempted this through standardized vocabularies and categories, and could serve as a starting point for a global information exchange standard to help museums communicate in the future.
