This paper will describe the problems encountered by the UK Museum Documentation Standard (UKMDS) project. It will explain how solutions were developed and will address specific issues raised for the field of fine and decorative arts. Having now published SPECTRUM: The UK Museum Documentation Standard, the paper will also explain how it is envisaged that people will use the SPECTRUM and describe the plans the MDA (Museum Documentation Association) and the UKMDS project have for the future.
