The Portuguese National Archives are working on a new data model for
archival description with CIDOC-CRM… I guess Portuguese archivists are
coming to realize that it is indeed an improvement to the archival
practices :-)
We presented the project at the 2018 annual conference in Herklion:

I actually think that traditional archiving practices /are/ a
different “sect” … or less controversially: the non-digital archival
practices of the North American tradition do not map cleanly into a
more precise ontology such as CIDOC-CRM that is designed for
expressing knowledge about specifics, rather than the broad
generalities of “collection description”.
In particular the distinction between the objects as managed physical
things and the objects as the members of an intellectual hierarchy is
very important in CRM (IMO) and very complicated to tease apart from
current data in archival systems.
I believe that trying to force the very general archival patterns into
a very specific CRM model would meet a lot of resistance from many
institutions, and even if we think that would be an improvement to the
archival practices, the archivists need to come to that realization
for themselves.

Well, they write:
"adding suggestions of mappings (in rico:closeTo) and OWL equivalences
between some classes or properties and components in other models
(among which - this is not an exhaustive list- CIDOC-CRM, IFLA-LRM,
PREMIS, PROV-O, and Schema.org)"
