ah... good question... but one mired in county / contractor indepandance.. we came close with the MoLAS system... and there are some data and archive standards that should be upheld... see the IFA

It would be 'nice' if all context sheets were the same, all photographic requiremetns were the same, and all etc....
This will take however some fun and long discussions with Curators across the UK.. getting them all to follow similar standards (though it could be argued they already do.. and that it can be tricky to provide a one size fits all...) however for certain standards.. like what you are suggeting, should be possible...
