Issue 101. Scope Note E73 to contain Multimedia Objects http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/crm_issues.html#is101
Proposal TG to explicitly mention multimedia objects and reference Jane Hunter's mpeg 7 paper in extension to scope note for Information Object (E73). CURRENT SCOPE NOTE: Scope Note: An identifiable immaterial item, which constitutes a unit for documentation and has an objectively recognizable structure. Examples: data sets, images, texts, procedure prescriptions. It does not include types, ideas etc. PROPOSED REVISED SCOPE NOTE: Scope Note: An identifiable immaterial item, such as a process or a digital object, that constitutes a unit for documentation and has an objectively recognizable structure. It does not include conceptual items such as types, ideas etc. Examples: data sets, images, texts, multimedia objects, procedure prescriptions, computer program code, algorithms, mathematical formulae. Note: The CIDOC CRM does not attempt to model the technical attributes of digital media in detail, as this is beyond its intended scope. However, extensions to model museum multimedia in greater detail, such as those described in Jane Hunter, "Combining the CIDOC CRM and MPEG-7 to Describe Multimedia in Museums" [1], are both appropriate and compatible. 1. http://www.archimuse.com/mw2002/papers/hunter/hunter.html Cheers, T. ====================================================================== Tony Gill, ArtSTOR Director of Metadata The Andrew W.
