The overall aim of the CIDOC CRM is to provide a [[Reference_model|reference model]] and information standard that museums, and other cultural heritage institutions, can use to describe their collections, and related business entities, to improve information sharing.
<blockquote>
The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) provides definitions and a formal structure for describing the implicit and explicit concepts and relationships used in cultural heritage documentation...to promote a shared understanding of cultural heritage information by providing a common and extensible semantic framework that any cultural heritage information can be mapped to. It is intended to be a common language for ___domain experts and implementers to formulate requirements for information systems and to serve as a guide for good practice of conceptual modelling. In this way, it can provide the "semantic glue" needed to mediate between different sources of cultural heritage information, such as that published by museums, libraries and archives.<ref>[http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/ CIDOC CRM Homepage]</ref>
