“…This work lies within the overall theme of integrating various types of cultural metadata and encoding them in different metadata schemas using CIDOC CRM. Approaches relate to mapping the semantics of archival description expressed through the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) metadata schema to CIDOC CRM [ 4 ], semantic mappings of cultural heritage metadata expressed through the VRA Core 4.0 schema to CIDOC CRM [ 9 , 10 ], and mapping of the semantics of Dublin Core (DC) metadata to CIDOC CRM [ 14 ]. These mappings consider the CIDOC CRM as the most appropriate conceptual model for interrelations and mappings between different heterogeneous sources [ 11 ] in the information science fields.…”

This paper uses CIDOC CRM and CRM-based models (CRMarchaeo, CRMsci) to represent archaeological excavation activities and the observations of archaeologists during their work in the excavation field. These observations are usually recorded in documents such as context sheets. As an application of our approach (case study), we used the records of the recent archaeological excavations in Fuwairit in Qatar, part of the Origins of Doha and Qatar Project. We explore issues related to the application of classes and properties as they appear in the latest versions of the aforementioned models, i.e. CIDOC CRM, CRMarchaeo, and CRMsci. The proposed data model could be used as the basis to create an automated system for archaeological documentation and archeological data integration.

“…The role of CIDOC CRM theory is to promote a shared understanding of the concept used in a cultural heritage documentation by acting as a conceptual reference model. According to Gergatsouls et al (2010) managing heterogeneous data is a challenge for ALM institutions because of different types of collections preserved by these institutions. The model is designed to promote the meaningful exchange of heterogeneous digital cultural content from the ALM institutions.…”

Analysis of the alliance of archives, libraries, and museums of South Africa National Parks: Kruger National Park

The research aims to analyse the alliance of archive, library and museum (ALM) at the Kruger National Park with regards to compliance with legislations, ALM’s role in education and the adoption of information and communication technology. A qualitative method was used to collect data. The research found that most of the participants were not aware of the legislations governing ALM in South Africa. ALM was not fully utilised for educational activities to enhance knowledge management; there is a low rate of adoption of information and communication technology as an enabler to provide education. Hopefully, this study will help to formulate research agendas to address societal challenges, such as adopting the policies which will have a positive impact on the implementation of ALM policies.

“…This allows the establishment of a reasoning for the ontologies as well as the intensive calculations using the JAVA programming language with the same interface. Besides, the ontology used to describe the archaeological artefacts from a measurement point of view is aligned with CIDOC-CRM ontology used for museo-graphical objects [2,3].…”

This work addresses the problem of underwater archaeological surveys from the point of view of knowledge. We propose an approach based on underwater photogrammetry guided by a representation of the used knowledge, structured by ontologies. Ontologies and photogrammetry are used together from the survey process to the graphical results. This paper focuses on the use of ontologies during the 3D results exploitation. A JAVA software dedicated to photogrammetry and archaeological survey has been mapped onto an OWL formalism. The use of procedural attachment in a dual representation (JAVA -OWL) of the involved concepts allows to access computational facilities directly from OWL. The use of rules as SWRL illustrates very well this double formalism, also the use of computational capabilities of rules logical expression. We present an application that is able to read the ontology populated with a photogrammetric survey. Once the ontology is read, it is possible to produce a 3D representation of the individuals and observing graphically the results of logical spatial queries on the ontology. This work is done on a very important archaeological wreck in Malta named Xlendi, probably the most ancient Phoenician wreck of western Mediterranean Sea.
