Delos Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries
The DELOS
Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries supports the harmonization
activity of FRBR with the CIDOC CRM.
FRBR: Functional Requirements for Bibliographic
Records
The FRBR model, which is designed for bibliographic
records, can be mapped to the CIDOC CRM. Patrick Le Boeuf, chair
of the FRBR WG has already provided such a mapping in his paper: The
brooch, the bug and the book: a comparison of the activity of "description" in fine arts museums,
natural history museums, and libraries; together with a mappingfrom FRBR to CRM.
Harmony + CIMI Collaboration: Interoperability
and metadata vocabularies:
In the framework of the Harmony + CIMI Collaboration: Interoperability and metadata vocabularies, the extended CIDOC CRM
has been base for data
transfer experiments from museum data of 4 organisations
to the CIDOC CRM (National
Museum of Denmark, AMOL, RLG, The
John Clayton Herbarium). ICS-FORTH is
assisting Harmony in
this collaboration with respect to the use of the CIDOC CRM:
This work implied the definition a simple data transport DTD
for CIDOC CRM instances and a simple XSL presentation form which
renders CIDOC CRM instances fairly readable, and data transformations
between the different data structures.
Working Group on Ontology Harmonization:
The DELOS
Network of Excellence has initiated a Working Group on Ontology
Harmonization, co-sponsored by the Harmony
Project, with the primary goal to come up with recommendations
for the harmonization of top-level ontologies and the long-term
maintenance of the correlation between such semi-autonomous resources,
beginning in particular with the CIDOC
CRM and the ABC
Harmony Model. Suitable results will be presented on this
page in the near future.
