Foreword
The workshop Practical Experiences with CIDOC CRM and its Extensions
(CRMEX) ran on 26th September 2013 in Valetta, Malta, as part of
the 17th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL
2013).
The CIDOC CRM (international standard ISO 21127:2006) is a conceptual
model and ontology with a fundamental role in many data integration efforts in the
Digital Libraries and Cultural Heritage (CH) domain. It has spawned various CRM-
compliant extensions, such as:
• Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBRoo) for works and bib-
liographic data;
• CRM Digitization (CRMdig) for digitization and provenance;
• CRM for English Heritage (CRMEH) for archaeology;
• British Museum Ontology (BMO) for museum objects;
• Sharing Ancient Wisdoms (SAWS) for medieval gnomologia (collections of wise
sayings);
• PRESSoo, a FRBRoo extension for serial publications.
A number of data models, while not CRM-compliant, have been influenced by the
CRM, e.g. the Europeana Data Model. At the same time, some people claim that the
examples of practical working systems using CRM are few and far between. There
are various difficulties facing wider CRM adoption and interoperation, e.g.:
• Because CRM allows many different ways of representing the same situation,
CRM adopters in various CH areas need mapping guidelines and best practices to
increase the chance of interoperation;
• While RDF is the most viable CRM representation, there are various low-level
RDF issues that are not standardized. Since RDF representation implies a certain
implementation bias and still undergoes changes of good practice, CRM-SIG has
been expecting good practices to emerge from people applying CRM in order to
make recommendations.
The goal of this workshop is to describe and showcase systems using CRM at their
core, exchange experience about the practical use of CRM, describe difficulties for
the practical application of CRM, and share approaches for overcoming such difficul-
ties.
The ultimate objective of this workshop is to encourage the wider practical adop-
tion of CRM.
Topics
• Software systems and similar developments using CRM;
• CRM repositories that aggregate large amounts of CRM RDF data;
• CRM-compliant extension ontologies and domain specializations. Principles for
extending CRM;
• Best practices for representing specific situations from specific CH domains in
CRM;
• Best practices, guidelines and detailed mappings from various metadata formats
and various CH domains to CRM;
• Joint use of CRM and other popular ontologies. Principles for selecting constructs
from different ontologies;
• Querying, searching and faceted browsing of CRM repositories;
• Display, editing, annotation and cross-linking of CRM data;
• Reasoning with CRM data;
• Encountered mistakes in representing CRM data. CRM learning curve and didactic
considerations;
• Shortcomings of CRM, recommendations for CRM evolution. Collaboration on
CRM evolution, merging RDF standardization approaches, recommendations for
collaborative approaches;
• Performance and volumetric information about CRM-based systems;
• Evaluations of CRM adoption, usability of CRM-based systems, usage of specific
CRM constructs.
