LIDO is an XML schema intended for delivering metadata, for use in a variety of online services, from an organization’s collections database to portals of aggregated resources, as well as exposing, sharing and connecting data on the web. + Its strength lies in its ability to support the typical range of descriptive information about objects of material culture. + It can be used for all kinds of object, e.g. art, cultural, technology and natural science and supports multilingual portal environments.
+The LIDO schema is the result of a substantial redesign and enhancement of the CDWA Lite and museumdat schemas based on recommendations of the CDWA Lite/museumdat Working Group, community feedback and further CIDOC-CRM analysis. It mainly builds on CDWA and includes additional concepts to meet SPECTRUM requirements.

+The schema is developed at https://gitlab.gwdg.de/lido/development. LIDO v1.1 is backwards compatible with LIDO v1.0. +For a summary of changes please refer to the repository’s README. The full history of LIDO can be found in http://www.lido-schema.org/schema/v1.0/lido-v1.0-specification.pdf, 2.3 History of the schema.
