Thanks Adam,

I am, I'll admit, out of my comfort zone here, but is there any mileage in 
considering the existing mappings to the CIDOC CRM ontology available at 
http://www.cidoc-crm.org/crm_mappings.html ? Does Arches (or could someone 
with some Arches development expertise) set things up so that an Arches 
database could provide data in another standardised format, if there is an 
existing mapping to the CRM to assist them?

All the best
Ed
