Hi Jim,
Your email is very densely populated. Just to summarise:
You are proposing:
1. To help build a new CIDOC CRM web site.2. To create a method of producing
the CIDOC CRM reference document in TEI format. 3. That we use the hashtag
#cidocCRM for social networking.
Is that correct?
Thanks,
Dominic
P.S. BTW why TEI? (Apologies in advance to TEI enthusiasts! :-))

CIDOC CRM SIG Members,My name is Jim Salmons and my inter-related Citizen
Science/History projects are @FactMiners (www.FactMiners.org) and @SoftalkApple
(www.SoftalkApple.com).We are working on two inter-related applied research
initiatives; #cidocCRMgraph and #cidocCRMdev, as briefly introduced here:
http://goo.gl/XZKkCE. For links to related #cidocCRM posts expressing our
interests/insights, please see: http://goo.gl/dpbhPs.BACKGROUND INFOFor our
most complete “manifesto” of applied research interests, please see:
https://goo.gl/3Vb0lO contributed and accepted into the CODE|WORDS series, and
this GraphGist Edition of my #MCN2014 presentation: http://goo.gl/gS2FJk
(especially the 2nd half of the embedded video which introduces, but does not
dive too deeply into, our FactMiners #cidocCRM focus). And for some context and
link to an unfolding #cidocCRM-related conversation at Schema.org in which I am
trying to inject a metamodel-driven design POV, please see:
http://goo.gl/x1DSAB. (Also, I am fortunate to have, and personally thank, the
members of my #cidocCRM/#TEI Personal Learning Network who are helping me to
fast-track my knowledge about the #cidocCRM and #TEI:
https://goo.gl/skvhaj.)CRM SIG MTG – NEW WEBSITE ITEM INTEREST & RECOMMENDATION
FOR TEI P5 FORMAT FOR DEFINITION DOCUMENTAs to the upcoming CRM SIG meeting
agenda item for next Friday morning to discuss a new cidoc-crm.org website,
please note that @FactMiners has a long-standing public “hand raised” to either
lead or contribute to this much-needed community project. If this is an open
issue and the project’s nature and goals are to be determined through next
Friday’s discussion, I would recommend that the new website be built
HAND-IN-HAND with adopting TEI P5 as the semantic “format of record” for the
CIDOC CRM Definition document. (MS-Word and PDF just won’t cut it moving
forward when both humans and our software agents need equal access to this
foundation document.)While there are those who prefer/need an RDF encoding,
there will be a growing group of folks like @FactMiners who will be best served
by a human- and machine-readable edition of the Definition document “as is”
without a complicated graph transformation applied (that can only further
obfuscate existing graph-interpretation issues of the current state of the
model). A TEI P5 encoding of the Definition document would not just be useful
in its own right, but it could figure into an efficient workflow for the SIG in
the future whereby the official public-facing website would be generated from
(and updated by) releases of the official #TEI Definition document.If the SIG
would prefer not to select a particular lead or other sanctioned “official
project” of the SIG, I would ask that you simply consider taking the existing
cidoc-crm.org website and put it into a public GitHub repository so volunteer
community members could fork it in response to a “CIDOC-CRM.org Website
Make-over Challenge” with friendly competition encouraged by general public as
well as a category for student/class projects.There are a number of other
active issues/ideas I would like to contribute to the current SIG conversations
that will surely take place next week, but I don’t want to dilute my message
about @FactMiners interest in contributing to the new website.RECOMMENDATION
FOR PREFERRED SOCIAL MEDIA HASHTAG - #cidocCRMHowever, I will slip this
recommendation into this self-introduction note to suggest that the SIG
consider officially endorsing/recommending the use of #cidocCRM as the
preferred hashtag for CIDOC CRM social media communication. My experience is
that anything with any variation of tag that has a plain CRM or hyphenated
#CIDOC-CRM etc., will attract the “900-pound gorilla” of Customer Relationship
Management folks that subvert conversations or spike your followers with
inappropriate bots or well-meaning lurkers. My choice of #cidocCRM is that the
CIDOC aspect should not be the “shouty” part and that it serves as the
“category discriminator” that will help keep our interests separate from “those
other” CRM folks.POSSIBLE SIG MEMBERSHIP?Finally, given my intense interest in
the #cidocCRM and not knowing how ICOM and/or CIDOC SIGs work, I am unsure
whether I would be a prospective group member in that I am an unaffiliated,
independent Citizen Scientist and on a limited fixed “retirement” budget.Thank
you for your interest and reading this notably long initial letter of
introduction. Happy-Healthy Vibes, -: Jim :- Jim Salmons Twitter:
