This will enable damage or deterioration to be logged. It may also be necessary to include additional fields to record management details, depending on the functions of the recording organisation. 2.5.1 Condition This field records the physical integrity of the monument or site, e.g., intact, destroyed, restored, unknown, etc. A controlled vocabulary is desirable.

This field is optional because many condition reports in the past may not have been dated. Use of the ISO standard for date is recommended, e.g., 1994-10-27.
