Semantic Integration of Collection Description

Abstract

The article discusses the semantic metadata integration and mapping of CIDOC/Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) and Dublin Core Collections Application Profile (DCCAP) in cultural heritage domain. It notes that the mapping of the two collection models is complex because the CIDOC/CRM follows an event-based approach. It notes that there is a need to have an integration mechanism that has unified heritage information access with collection-level record focus in having metadata interoperability.
