National Gallery - CIDOC CRM Modelling Examples

Integrating documentation details and analytical data generated for an object


In order to connect existing work together and to identify where the development of practical examples of documentation software could be most informative, the relationships between the various types of documentary and analytical data generated for generic and specific situations need to be described. This presentation provides examples of how real objects can be semantically described and linked to the images and results of their analytical examination.

All of the linking properties and classes presented in the included examples are taken from the current[1] release and development version of the CIDOC-CRM[2] ontology. References to external control vocabularies or thesauri[3] have also been included to demonstrate how links between internal documentation systems and external resources could be modelled.
