Motivations for CIDOC CRM
- Reality of semantic interoperability is frustrating:
- many standards
- many proprietary metadata
- many proprietary data structures
- many terminology systems
- Core systems like Dublin Core represent a common denominator by far too
small to fulfil advanced requirements
- Overstretching of semantics in order to capture complex semantics
leads to further loss of meaning, even though most of the contents encoded in
the various structures seems to be pretty well comprehensive to common sense
