"Sharing the Knowledge"International CIDOC CRM SymposiumMarch 26 - 27, 2003 |
List of Presentations Martin Doerr Researcher The following slides have been presented: Tony Gill ArtSTOR Director of Metadata, When the Rubber Hits the Road: Using the CIDOC CRM in the Real World This presentation will re-introduce the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model and describe its role in the development of RLG Cultural Materials, a real-world web-based multimedia resource that provides integrated access to heterogeneous digital collections of material culture from a diverse range of memory institutions. The presentation will conclude with a summary of some potential practical applications of the CRM, and suggestions for further research and development The following slides have been presented: ppt file [1,05 Mb]
Thomas Gruber Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Email: gruber@intraspect.com It Is What It Does: The Pragmatics of Ontology for Knowledge Sharing The following slides have been presented: pdf file [270 Kb] Andrew Jones Department of Computer Science Knowledge Sharing and Collaborative Problem Solving in Biodiversity Informatics The availability of diverse kinds of
data sets and analytic tools presents opportunities to do new kinds
of analysis in biodiversity informatics. There are, however, some
significant difficulties associated with using these resources
in combination. We discuss some major issues relating to knowledge
sharing in Biodiversity Informatics, including the challenges of
autonomy, heterogeneity and data quality. In this discussion we
draw on our own experience in the realm of the SPICE for Species
2000 and LITCHI projects. SPICE provides a catalogue of life using
a federation of heterogeneous global species databases, while LITCHI
applies constraint technology to the detection and resolution of
taxonomic conflicts in synonymic checklists. We then discuss the
potential of the GRID for supporting knowledge sharing and collaborative
problem solving, presenting the techniques we are starting to develop
in the recently-commenced BiodiversityWorld project. In particular,
we discuss the ways that problem solving environments can support
collaborative problem solving and explain various ways in which
metadata can support location and use of suitable data and analytic
tools. We also outline how we intend to use provenance metadata
to support the experimental process, making it possible (for example)
to review a particular result and experiment with alternative analytic
algorithms or data sets from alternative sources.

Candelaria de Ram Cognizor (Chief of Research and Technology), Email:cognizor@cognizor.com, editor@pythonjournal.cognizor.com, editor@pythonjournal.com Human Markup Language (huml): Humanness Content and Sharing across Perspective Shifts Human Markup Language, a set of standard
HumanML tags, are designed for explicitly indicating "humanness" --
meaningfulness originating in your point of view and interpreted
in the perspective of your fellow in communicating. Gaps in perspectives
are to be expected in globalized communication; resolving them fast
is of supreme importance. HumanML, or "Human Markup Language", As meta-labels for communicators' content
and perspective, HuML tags address both the personal and contextual
aspects of communications. They may range from Community, Culture,
Intent, and Emotion to descriptors of person/group and circumstance. HumanML tags are carried along with the signal
itself as it crosses the bridge between you and your fellow. The
goals are better interpretation and more accurate messaging -- even
if the fellowship involves a computer or two. Computer applications, say for virtual face-to-face
communication, may pick up HumanML terms expanded to suit different
domains: For instance, primary terms in the base schema such as Intent,
Kinesic, and GeoLocator can be variously expanded in applications
that handle communications of diplomacy, dance, design, or education.
Similarly, Community and Semiosis may be detailed for local or specialized
genres and sign-systems. Standard XML expansion mechanisms are available
for derivation and expansion as HumanML primary terms are built upon
to yield secondary terms for different practical tasks. Use Cases
illustrate. This is the entire presentation of
the paper. Patrick LeBoeuf Email: PATRICK.LE-BOEUF@bnf.fr The book, the bug and the bangle: a parallel and a paradoxMappings are a valuable way of assessing
conceptual models' robustness. A number of mappings to CRM have been
attempted since 1998. This paper is based on the experience acquired
in mapping the IFLA conceptual model for bibliographic records, FRBR,
to CRM. It seems that the FRBR model does not sufficiently distinguish
between "real-life" objects and the way they are reflected
in library catalogues, and mistakes them with their appellation.
This logical flaw surely will be repaired in FRANAR, the conceptual
model that is being developed by IFLA for authority records and that
will result in an all-encompassing conceptual model for the whole
bibliographic universe of library catalogues. It appears, as a paradox,
that the act of cataloguing in a library is perhaps closer to the
tasks that pertain to natural history museums than to the act of
describing an item that belongs to a fine arts museum, though library
items often are regarded as closer to works of art than to biological
or mineral items. As CRM covers at the same time natural history
and fine arts museums, there is good hope that FRBR and CRM will
prove interoperable. This is the entire text of the presentation: doc file [159 Kb] Norman Paskin Director Managing Material as Digital Objects A presentation on emerging standards
for persistent identification and interoperable exchange

role of such systems in content management and digital rights
management.
John Perkins Executive Director, CIMI Consortium Email: jperkins@cimi.org Some strategic issues for sharing information in museums Over the past ten years CIMI's research has focused on the interchange of museum information. The outcomes and lessons learned from that work point to the need to address strategic issues in the areas of understanding audiences, economic drivers, technology, and organizational capability, if we are to effectively share knowledge with our colleagues and our customers. This talk will explore some of those key issues. The following slides have been presented: ppt file [167 Kb]Daniel Pitti Project Director Archival Description: Records, People, and Activities

of recorded knowledge. Works are deliberate creations (known
variously as opera, oeuvres, Werke, etc.) that stand as the
formal records of knowledge, essential records of human accomplishment.
In the information retrieval domain, the work as opposed
to the document, has only recently received focused attention.
But works (oeuvres, etc.) are key entities for information
retrieval, serving as vehicles for communication between
creators (scholars, artists, etc.) and the audiences that
consume their creative efforts. Artifacts (sculptures, paintings,
realia, documents, books, scores, recordings, etc.) are the
physical media collected by repositories of culture (libraries,
archives, museums, etc.), and are the means by which works
are communicated. Smiraglia (2001, 2002b) has demonstrated
the evolutionary patterns of works and their utility as entities
for information retrieval. The following slides have been

Heritage and the Royal Commission on the Historic Monuments
of England brought together the two key government-funded
organizations responsible for the historic environment
in England. It also brought together a diverse range of
overlapping datasets, many of them legacy systems. English
Heritage is also responsible for supporting the work of
the English sites and monuments records, as well as making
its standards available to other heritage bodies. This
paper will examine the programme of work envisioned by
the Data Services Unit in compiling the Heritage Data Directory
(HEDD), identifying applications and schema, and the role
of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model as a means of facilitating
interoperability between key information sources. It will
also consider its potential for drawing together some of
the diverse range of datasets within the broader heritage
community into an historic environment information network. Bhavani Thuraisingham Bhavani Thuraisingham Recent developments in information
systems technologies have resulted in computerizing many
applications in various business areas. Data has become a
critical resource in many organizations, and therefore, efficient
access to data, sharing the data, extracting information
from the data, and making use of the information has become
an urgent need. As a result, there have been many efforts
on not only integrating the various data sources scattered
across several sites, but extracting information from these
databases in the form of patterns and trends has also become
important. These data sources may be databases managed by
database management systems, or they could be data warehoused
in a repository from multiple data sources.
