The '''[[CIDOC]] Conceptual Reference Model (CRM)''' provides an extensible [[Ontology (computerinformation science)|ontology]] for [[concept]]s and [[information]] in [[cultural heritage]] and [[museum]] [[Information science|documentation]]. It is the [[international standard]] ([[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]]&nbsp;21127:2006) for the controlled exchange of cultural heritage information.<ref>[http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=34424&scopelist=PROGRAMME ISO 21127:2006 (Information and documentation — A reference ontology for the interchange of cultural heritage information)]</ref> [[Archive]]s, [[library|libraries]], [[museum]]s, and other cultural institutions are encouraged to use the CIDOC CRM to enhance accessibility to museum-related information and [[knowledge]].

==History==

Line 13:

Following the successful standardization of the CIDOC CRM, a new initiative, [[FRBRoo]], was begun in 2006 to harmonize it with the [[FRBR|Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records]] (FRBR). The aim of this initiative is to "provide a formal ontology intended to capture and represent the underlying semantics of bibliographic information and to facilitate the integration, mediation, and interchange of bibliographic and museum information."<ref>[http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/frbr_inro.html FRBoo Introduction]</ref><ref>[http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/docs/doer_le_boeuf.pdf Martin Doerr, Patrick LeBoeuf, Modelling Intellectual Processes: The FRBR-CRM Harmonization, CIDOC Conference, September 11, 2006, Gothenburg, Sweden]</ref>

==Ontology==

The "CIDOC object-oriented Conceptual Reference Model" (CRM) is a [[Ontology_(information_science)#Domain_ontologies_and_upper_ontologies|___domain ontology]], but includes its own version of an [[upper ontology]].

The core classes cover:<ref>{{cite web|title=Graphical Representation of core CRM form|url=http://www.cidoc-crm.org/cidoc_core_graphical_representation/graphical_representation.html|publisher=[[CIDOC]]}}</ref>

* Space-Time – label/identification, place, period, time-span

* Events – label/identification, beginning/ending of existence, participants, creation/modification of physical and conceptional things
