Dear All, With the CIDOC CRM SIG Meeting in Oxford, October 6-9, 2003, the systematic work on the CIDOC CRM has come to a successful end. The Group has produced version 3.5, which is no more a draft, but the intended form of the standard. The were still a series of small corrections we regarded as useful to improve comprehensibility and referential integrity within the whole document. The submission of the DIS version to ISO is underway. When the DIS is accepted, there will be a last chance for proof-reading.
From the first discussion with members and representatives of CIDOC in 1994, this project has a history of 9 years, not to speak of all work that was taken up by the CIDOC CRM. On this occasion I want to express my particular thanks to all friends and partners in this work, which has been particularly joyful and satisfactory. We shall publish a complete list of all those that have contributed over the years to this work together with the new version. Also our special thanks to all organisations that have and do actively support this effort. So it is time now to look at the challenges the CIDOC CRM and its application opens up. We had therefore a series of presentations by people applying the CRM and a discussion about the most relevant issues to address now. We decided to have the next meeting in the form of a scientific workshop, with invited papers and a following working session to elaborate more on the topics. We shall publish the call for papers in a few days from now. I attach the report from the discussion. Your feed-back and response will be much appreciated.
