The Workshop \Extending, Mapping and Focusing the CRM" was organized in the framework of the 19th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL), on the 17th September 2015, in Poznan, Poland. The goal of the workshop was to present, discuss and assess the developments of the CIDOC CRM in the Cultural Heritage domain. The importance of CRM in heritage-related digital libraries and dataset infrastructures is con rmed by the increasing number of cultural heritage institutions and research projects adopting CRM and its extensions to foster datasets interoperability. The CfP was open to scholars contributing to the development of CRM extensions and applications as well as to researchers who are currently using and adapting CRM to speci c domain needs.
