Dear Phil, That’s depends on what you exactly mean with intangible heritage. Seems to me the majority of the records or documentation in such field is related to events and the characterisation of certain figure as types or member of a group with a certain role for a certain moment in time.
The documentation standards developed in such field [1] [2] clearly shows that this is the main focus of this type of descriptions, and even checking the UNESCO’s classification seems to me that we are always talking about different types of performative events. Several aspects of the problem are definitively taken into account by CRM and for the performative description some people are already tackling them (G.Bruseker for example), therefore seems to me that CRM is the right way to go. Moreover there seems to be no other ontology that tackle the complexity of so-called intangible phenomena. Best, Nicola [1] Viudez, M.C., 2010. Metodologia de recerca etnològica.

As you may know the Arches Project has been using the CRM as the backbone for a cultural heritage inventory system. This is working well and is being implemented by many projects. One such project now wants to use Arches to record intangible heritage and so needs to create resource graphs, based on an ontology, in order to do this. Can the CRM be used to represent the intangible heritage? If not does anyone know of an ontology that can?
