Melissinou road is a straight road next to the southern
side of the large Venetian fortress Fortezza, right

Two airports

about 80 km, and Chania, at a distance of about 60 km.
The last bus from Heraklion leaves at 20:30. Taxi from
Heraklion will cost about 45 Euro. The tour to Rethymnon
is beautiful.

Why is the upcoming meeting
in Rethymnon so important?
The next joined meeting
of the CIDOC CRM SIG and ISO/TC46/SC4/WG9 will be very
important. After the modelling constructs and most scope
notes of the CIDOC CRM have been decided on the last
meeting in Copenhagen, the remaining set of 43 scope
notes for properties have to be decided and the last
consistency problems have to be fixed. We shall then
have the final version of the technical contents. The
form and introductory texts for the ISO FDIS have to
be decided, so that we are able to produce an FDIS proposal
end of this year. We shall intensify in this meeting
contacts with implementers and discuss how to bring
forward application knowledge, i.e. issues of presentation,
dissemination, training and application and attracting
more members.
Particularly
the discussion of the property scope notes is a chance
for all new-comers to understand the CIDOC CRM in depth.
A discussion
point particularly important for implementers will be
the discussion of a compatibility predicate (issue
39).
This meeting will cover the following issues:
-
Introduction
to the CIDOC CRM for new-comers,
-
Overall
presentation of the extensions of the CIDOC CRM
version 3.3, envisaged as FDIS, in comparison to
the CIDOC CRM version 3.2, currently being proposed
as Committee Draft (DIS).
-
Amendments:
Decision on issues: 104,106,107,108,112
-
Validating
Applications:
Discussion on prototypical scenarios of use, what
should be the validating applications, which kinds
of supporting documents are needed. Decision on
the document about CIDOC CRM use (issue
19). Progress on issues nr. 19,39,
-
Editorial
Decision on the complete property scope notes, issue
43, and issues nr.16,50,92,97,100,101,102,103,105,109,110,111;
-
Extended
documentation:
Dealing with presentation, good practice, FAQ and
interpretation issues. Decision on issue 18,57,59.
Progress report on issues nr.22,23,28,44,51,54,55,60,65,98,99.
-
Presentation
of the new Web-site, decision on how to organize
a team for supporting the web-site maintenance.
Please do not hesitate to submit
your issues before this meeting. In order to
have an effective discussion, we prefer to have new
issues raised during a meeting to be discussed in the following meeting.
The agenda
will consist as usual of the tutorial for newcomers
and a general training topic, this time an overall presentation
of all extensions and amendments from version 3.2 to
the envisaged final version 3. Following is the editorial
package, the "must" of this meeting, i.e.
decisions about the form and elements of the introductory
text for the FDIS, and finishing scope notes and amendments.
This may need less or more than foreseen, so the rest
of the agenda will be adapted to the outcome. We have
calculated about 10 minutes discussion per scope note.
It will take us about one and a half day.
After this major achievement we shall have time to learn
a bit more about projects of our newcomers and hosts,
and we shall close the day with the discussion about
the foreseen accompanying documentation.
The last day we shall devote to questions relevant for
implementers, planning outreach, organizing the International
Symposium and the future of the CIDOC CRM SIG. For the
program is extremely tight (as usual), please do not
plan to leave on Friday before the end of the meeting.
