• For users of SIS here the full implementation of CIDOC CRM version 3.4: Available: zip file (31 Kb).

• This is a proposal how to encode the version 3.4 of the CIDOC CRM in RDFS. It uses double (inverse) properties and renders the version 3.2.2 obsolete. It identifies properties by a unique id as part of the property name:

• This is a proposal how to encode the version 3.4 of the CIDOC CRM in XML. It defines all properties as tags and refers to entities summarily with the tag "in_class". It can be used for data transport and for presentation using a suitable XSL style sheet:

Working draft of the CIDOC MetaCRM

The "CIDOC MetaCRM" is a proposal to support categorical and cross-categorical information, as it appears characteristically in ethnology, natural history, archaeology and other sciences, by systematic logical derivation of metaclasses and metaproperties from the CIDOC CRM.

• This document is a draft of how the CIDOC MetaCRM could be defined.
• This list shows the transition from properties to class properties. Properties that do not transform are marked in red.
• This is a list of class properties with their domains and ranges. Properties that do not transform are left out.
• This list shows the properties that do not transform.

CIDOC CRM Core metadata element set

CRM Core is a proposal of metadata elements for resource discovery. It captures the basic functions of identification, classification, participation, part decomposition, references and similarity.
CRM Core is not only a format for metadata elements for resource discovery, but also a very
simple schema for summarization of historical facts.

• This document is a short description of the CIDOC CRM Core metadata element set.
• This is the dtd file of the CIDOC CRM Core metadata element set.
• This document is a graphical representation of the dtd of the CIDOC CRM Core metadata element set.
• This document contains an example of the CIDOC CRM Core. For more examples please see the list bellow:
  • Yalta Conference
  • David Beckham
  • Mona Lisa
  • Lawson Cabinet
  • John Hoagland
  • Leonardo Henrichsen
  • Vincent Van Gogh
  • Almond Blossom
  • Monument to Balzac
