Structured model for computerization and national legislation for the cataloguing of Paleontological Heritage, BNP - Naturalistic Catalog, Paleontology Catalog.

In order to carry out this standardization project of national cataloguing regulations, a working group was set up in which the Paleontological Collections sector of the ISPRA Area Attività Museali participated, making a decisive contribution, considering the sector's many years of experience on this topic.

The sheet represents the official national reference model for the computerized cataloguing of fossil finds and for museum paleontological collections.

It defines and includes both the data structure and the compilation rules and is available online both for online consultation and for download.
