国际博物馆统计

[中文适用范围]： 本国际标准为博物馆界规定了收集和报告统计数据的规则。它为博物馆提供的所有类型资源和服务提供了定义和计数程序。承认并非所有规定的措施都可以由不同类型的博物馆收集。目的是确保在统计被收集时，使用相同的定义和方法。本国际标准并不旨在排除未在此中指明的方法的使用。由于世界各地存在各种各样的博物馆，重要的是要理解并不是描述中的所有方法都可能为所有博物馆所需或有用。 [外文原描述]： ISO 18461:2016 specifies rules for the museum community on the collection and reporting of statistics. It provides definitions and counting procedures for all types of resources and services that museums offer to their users. It is recognized that not all measures specified in this International Standard can be collected by museums of different type and size. The aim is to ensure that, where a particular statistic is collected, the same definitions and methods are used. ISO 18461:2016 is not intended to exclude the use of methods not specified in it. There are many different types of museums, with different tasks and audiences, having a range of unique characteristics (structure, funding, governance, etc.), and affected by a number of situational factors. Since there is such a wide variation around the world, it is important to understand that not all methods described in this International Standard may be required by or useful to all museums.
