Non-PRO (1): writeaway

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

management

'management of museum objects' seems to be a more common, cover-all phrase. You might even consider 'assets' or 'collections' instead of objects. I also prefer plural Regulations (on/governing/concerning...) for regeling.
Note from asker:
'museum collection management,' NL 'collectie beheer' usually concerns an individual collection. The question is about the title of a piece of legislation that is meant to cover every aspect of the adminstration of museum collections. It is a logistical thing. Google throws up no definition but from the references displayed, it looks more like keeping track of the goods owned by a company or organisation.
Peer comment(s):

agree Chris Hopley : I think in English it's more common to speak of 'museum collection management' rather than 'museum objects management' (I used to work at a software company that made collection management software)

tangible property management

Van Dale:
materieelbeheerder
1.
iem. die verantwoordelijk is voor de materiële zaken (van een bedrijf, een legeronderdeel e.d.).

Materieel bezit = tangible property volgens Van Amerongen Terminologie Financieel Management N-E.

In the past, museums identified their property and collections as tangible assets. For example, real estate or leasehold interests for the real property of the museum are managed by the administrative arm of the museum. The collection, on the other hand, is managed by the registrar or collections manager. With the advent of new technologies and the growing awareness of complex IP issues, new management processes are now recognized as necessary to manage the assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent.

Je hebt gelijk, Lianne. Mijn excuses. Ik had je link niet goed gelezen.
Note from asker:
Getting there... Must sheepishly admit at this point that I do not have the most recent edition of Van Dale. 'Tangible/intangible cultural property' is a term certainly used in the museum world but not in this sense.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Lianne van de Ven : het gaat om "museale" voorwerpen//lees aub artikel 2 van de "regeling materiaalbeheer," de link in de references die ik aangehaald heb. Het gaat om museale voorwerpen.

Het gaat volgens mij om de museale infrastructuur, niet om de voorwerpen zelf. Je kunt denken aan gebouwen, beveiliging, noem maar op.
