What exists in LÆFAN today
Campaigns are the temporary monitoring context.
A Campaign can represent a loan, temporary exhibition, light exposure study or conservation investigation. It gives that work a defined period and lets the museum relate the relevant places, sensors and profile to the reason monitoring was intensified or treated differently.
Loan, exhibition, investigation or another temporary collections activity.
Use the environmental expectations appropriate to the material, lender agreement or conservation decision.
Readings, excursions, samples and review remain tied to the period and place.
LÆFAN is not a collections logistics system.
It does not currently model crates, packing workflows, chain of custody or transport stages. It records the environmental monitoring context around a loan or exhibition and can sit alongside the museum's collections management and transport processes.
A practical workflow
Keep the temporary context without duplicating the sensor record.
Guidance around loans
Environmental requirements sit alongside packing and transport requirements.
Where cultural property is being moved, BS EN 15946:2011 covers packing principles for transport and BS EN 16648:2015 covers transport methods. Those standards are broader than LÆFAN's current role. LÆFAN contributes the environmental monitoring record before, during or after a loan wherever suitable data are available.
Loan agreements may also specify particular environmental requirements. Those should be reflected in the campaign's assigned profile rather than replaced by a generic default.
