This document discusses approaches to representing collections data from multiple perspectives and maintaining contextual meaning. It describes how collections were historically organized from unified to specialized views. Digital projects now focus on efficiency over interpretation. Effective representation requires modeling real-world context and relationships between items rather than harmonizing descriptions. Maintaining diverse descriptive perspectives is important for understanding significance over time. Standards risk privileging some memories over others without documentation. The value is in respecting each institution's framing of knowledge.

1. Some painters wanted to break the rules from the 19th century because the world was changing very fast politically, socially and scientifically and they felt art needed to change and create something new too.
2. Photography contributed to breaking the rules because it could capture realistic images, so realism in painting was no longer seen as challenging or innovative by some artists.
3. From this period onward, the subject of painting would not necessarily be realistic depictions of external reality, but could experiment with different styles, techniques and ways of expressing ideas, emotions and experiences.
