After comparing the difference between ideal data items and actually used data items for museum objects and resources, it was confirmed that several items are of a general concept and others more subdivided, and the difference occurs mainly during the process of subdividing. For data structure protocols required for information interchange, a "standard items chart" in which a large number of data items are defined hierarchically, arranged so that the contents of the lower items are included within the upper items, seems sufficient. In order to exchange information, each individual database manager should refer to this chart and either select the items he needs, or add items he plans to use by defining their corresponding relation within the chart. By positioning items unlisted in the chart under one of the standard items, they can be indirectly exchanged by reflecting its content in theupper level item. From the view of the purpose of protocols, the more the standard items are (the fewer the added items are), the better. Furthermore, by selecting several upper level items as "essential items", the minimum potentialities of interchange will be guaranteed.An example of the standard items chart is given in the report, along with an explanation of the above concept. The policy set when defining the relations between items, was to emphasize logic while considering the customs within museums and art history, keeping in mind a wide range of users. The chart was made by creating a database of the approximately 1200 items surveyed, and then setting several logical frameworks. As a result, 10 trial cases of classifications mutually compared and intensified became the final standard item chart.

通过比较博物馆藏品和资源的理想数据项与实际使用的数据项的差异，可以看出，有的项目属于一般概念，有的项目则较为细分，差异主要出现在细分的过程中。对于信息交换所需的数据结构协议，“标准项目图表”似乎就足够了，在“标准项目图表”中，大量数据项目被分层定义，排列成较低项目的内容包含在较高项目中。为了交换信息，每个数据库管理员应该参考该图表并选择他需要的项目，或者通过在图表中定义它们的对应关系来添加他计划使用的项目。通过将图表中未列出的项目放置在标准项目之一下，可以通过在上层项目中反映其内容来间接交换它们。从协议的目的来看，标准项越多（增加的项越少）越好。此外，通过选择几个上层项目作为“基本项目”，将保证最低限度的互换潜力。报告中给出了标准项目图表的示例，并解释了上述概念。在定义项目之间的关系时制定的政策是强调逻辑，同时考虑博物馆和艺术史中的习俗，并牢记广泛的用户。该图表是通过创建大约 1200 个调查项目的数据库，然后设置几个逻辑框架来制作的。由此，10个分类的审判案例相互比对强化，成为最终的标准项目图。
