By adopting [[Formal semantics of programming languages|formal semantics]] for the CIDOC CRM, the pre-conditions for machine-to-machine [[Interoperable|interoperability]] and [[information integration|integration]] have been established. Thus, CIDOC CRM is well placed to become an important information standard and reference model for [[Semantic Web]] initiatives, and serves as a guide for [[Data modeling|data]], or [[Database model|database]], modeling more generally. Technically speaking, CIDOC CRM lends itself to software applications that extensively use [[Extensible Markup Language|XML]] and [[Resource Description Framework|RDF]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/tools.html# |title=CIDOC CRM Tools and RDF mappings |access-date=2007-06-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070614123434/http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/tools.html# |archive-date=2007-06-14 |deadurl-url=yes |dfstatus=dead }}</ref> Many cultural heritage institutions are investigating or building applications that use CIDOC CRM.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/uses_applications.html# |title=CIDOC CRM Applications |access-date=2007-06-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070613015856/http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/uses_applications.html# |archive-date=2007-06-13 |deadurl-url=yes |dfstatus=dead }}</ref>

Following the successful standardization of the CIDOC CRM, a new initiative, [[FRBRoo]], was begun in 2006 to harmonize it with the [[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] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070616033312/http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/frbr_inro.html |date=2007-06-16 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/docs/doer_le_boeuf.pdf# |title=Martin Doerr, Patrick LeBoeuf, Modelling Intellectual Processes: The FRBR-CRM Harmonization, CIDOC Conference, September 11, 2006, Gothenburg, Sweden |access-date=2007-06-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070726145715/http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/docs/doer_le_boeuf.pdf# |archive-date=2007-07-26 |deadurl-url=yes |dfstatus=dead }}</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]]|access-date=2013-10-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021110613/http://www.cidoc-crm.org/cidoc_core_graphical_representation/graphical_representation.html#|archive-date=2013-10-21|deadurl-url=yes|dfstatus=dead}}</ref>
