This
workshop is a tutorial about the CIDOC Conceptual Reference
Model (CRM), a top-level ontology and proposed ISO standard
for the semantic integration of cultural information. It will
explain the scope and objectives of the model. It will detail
the construction principles used and the major concepts it
defines.
In order to use the model for information integration, multiple
data structures have to be mapped to the model, so that data
contents
can be transformed automatically into a CRM compatible form
and be merged. Alternatively, the mappings can be used to
transform queries against the CRM into queries against local
data structures. The mapping is the critical step, in which
the domain expert's knowledge is needed. IT tools can automatically
execute later steps. The mapping process also shows compatibility
with the CRM.
The tutorial will explain in practical examples and exercises
how to map a data structure to the CIDOC CRM. Participants
are invited to bring examples of their data structures to
the workshop.
