Multidisciplinary Research Mapping with CIDOC CRM

This project explores the implementation of CIDOC CRM in a relational database to map and analyze multidisciplinary research activities, focusing on the history of mining. It includes archaeology, history, linguistics, surveying, archeometallurgy, ethnology, mineralogy, botany, archeozoology, and dendrochronology.

  1. Overview • Conceptual part • Background - Multidisciplinary project • Mapping - Identify classes and properties of the CRM • Use TYPE (E55) class for specialization • Implementation part • System Architecture • Relational database – structure, table group • User Interface for node and tree navigation • GIS integrationwithexample

  2. Background - Multidisciplinary project Research on the history of mining activities from prehistoric to modern times • Archaeology • History • Linguistics • Surveying and Geoinformation • Archeometallurgy • Ethnology • Mineralogy • Botany • Archeozoology • Dendrochronology

  17. Conclusion • Results • CRM is very useful to model multidisciplinary research • CIDOC CRM can be completely implemented in a relational database • Tree view with Place as root enables GIS use • GIS can be used to do spatial visualisation or analysis • Discussion • Spezialisation within TYPE (lossofinteroperabilityifnostandardized Thesaurus isused) • Guidelines for data modeling • what classes correspond to what reality • when use a type, when an instance • User interfaces for not CRM literate people
