Dear All, This paper describes commercial systems, that implement a considerable part of the higher end vision of use of the CIDOC CRM: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/lib/download/SAK02-TM.pdf
It is the first paper I encounter, that fully appreciates the role of semantic relationships in real system development. The referred "World Model" is characteristically what the CIDOC CRM plays for our domain. As in most computer science papers, the ontology is expected to be given by the "user". We know quite well, that the real end user has neither the time nor the expertise to formulate his/her conceptualizations as a formal ontology. This can only be done by interdisciplinary teams as the CIDOC CRM SIG. We are happy to have invested in this over ten years, so that now, when the technology is available, also the ontology exists. We have the chance to discuss more about that in the Symposium in Washington DC, March 26,27, 2003.
