Ontology-based Standards (in progress)

• CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model, a core ontology and ISO standard (ISO 21127) for the semantic integration of cultural, library, archive and other information: a compact model of only 80 classes and 130 relationships. "The model is easy to understand and is well suited to mediating between cultural and library information and thereby provides the semantic 'glue' needed to transform todays disparate, localised information sources into a coherent and valuable global resource."
