The Complete Catalogue. It has been developed by Nanna Kronberg Frederiksen in collaboration with Ernst Jonas Bencard, Karen Benedicte Busk-Jepsen, and Kira Kofoed from the Thorvaldsens Museum’s analogous and digital registration practices and on J. Paul Getty Trust’s international standard Categories for the Description of Works of Art (CDWA). It consists of 19 categories and a thesaurus.
