Martin,
And thank you very much for your welcoming reply.
As to joining next week’s meeting, I would love nothing more than to be there
in person but that is not possible at this late date (putting aside the
financial considerations). I will, however, do my best to attend remotely. If
any sessions are live streamed, I will do my best to enjoy a #FlyOnTheWall
perspective. But even a #hashtagged Tweet-stream (especially with photos :-) )
can give remote attendees a sense of participation.
(QUESTION FOR ALL: Is there a hashtag for conversations around the CRM SIG
meeting next week? #cidocCRMmtg would if there is not one already?)
Based on Dominic’s suggestion I have submitted my application for ICOM
membership as a voting member in CIDOC to express my interest in the CRM SIG.
I am especially interested in helping with the new website initiative. Not
because I am a “web guy” but because I believe that the website will be
critical to creating a “Developers Central” (community/ecosystem) as we start
to explore and encourage use of the #cidocCRM as an executable metamodel, in
addition to supporting its many established more ontologically-focused
applications.
I look forward to learning about your and your FORTH team’s activity to date on
the new website. Is the requirements document you mentioned available on-line?
Any GitHub or similar prototyping explorations, etc.?
I’m almost certain that our goals for a new site will be in sync although our
means of getting there might differ. I’m hoping that this difference in
approach might alleviate some, or much, of what you describe as a complex
underlying database and an anticipated maintenance challenge. (My suggestion to
adopt #TEI P5 encoding for the Definition document is part of setting up that
maintenance pipeline. Dominic, I’ll briefly answer your question about why TEI
in a subsequent post.)
ALL THIS SAID… I know you and all the others getting ready for the multi-party
multi-focused meetings next week have MUCH to attend to that is pressing. So
I’ll leave it at this to express my interest and looking forward to
communicating as time pressures subside.
I believe we are on the cusp of a next phase of evolution of the #cidocCRM and
will be exciting to be part of this community.
Happy-Healthy Vibes,

Dear Jim,
Thank you very! much for your proposal.
Could you join the meeting? We are working at FORTH on a new
CRM Website, with a fairly complex database underneath. After
long requirements analysis, we have understood the high
complexity of maintaining such a thing. Any help/collaboration
much appreciated & needed!!! but we need a close common understanding
of the real issues to go ahead.
Best,
Martin

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! :-))
