National Gallery - CIDOC CRM Modelling Examples

Data preparation

This site has been setup to present a series of examples of how the CIDOC CRM can be used to model actual heritage data, however it is not meant to be a static resource. The models that are presented here are expected to change overtime as a result of further research and discussion and potentially new models may be added. The goal is to create a resource that aims to present a current view of the consensus of how the CIDOC CRM is used to model data in practical systems.

In order to make the process of editing the models as easy as possible they are created dynamically from a simple list of tab separated triples as shown here. Simple changes to this root data file will result in the presented models changing, as all of the required processing and formatting, for these complex presentations, are carried out automatically each time a model is loaded.

In order to allow others to participate in future discussions, and help update these models, the raw files are going to be uploaded to GitHub. This will allow details of all issues, comments and even older versions of the models to be publicly organised and presented.
