Indeed the intention is to focus on ontological level for the CRM and not to expand to data structures, schemas etc. The issue label does not represent the issue exactly, but it can act as a reminder. I will add the reference to the library.

Dear Thanasis, all,

I would be happy to join the discussion. Another useful reading other than the already cited ones, is "Cataloguing Culture: Legacies of Colonialism in Museum Documentation” <https://www.ubcpress.ca/cataloguing-culture> by Hannah Turner.

Regarding the name and the scope of the issue: should we focus on data structure (I see the title of the issue is "bias in data structure") or specifically on ontologies and CRM? While I do very much believe that data structure is an enormously important topic to discuss, it is an extremely large subject, and entail a larger series of problems which do derive from the informational foundation, the concept of structure itself, the recorded information, as well as disciplinary inheritance in the chosen subject matter.

I second rob proposing to focus on the problem of the ontology and the process of documentation/development. I would add that we should include some point about CRM as system of thought as well as the problem of formalisation.

    * Implementations and Instances of the Ontology
    -- I think these are useful as second-order evidence, but that we
    should not be too involved or prescriptive.

I would include the topic, as to make clear the diversity in implementation (use of terminological systems as well as the use of the concept of controlled terminology itself), avoiding indeed the prescriptive stance.

Best,

Nicola

P.s. Great initiative :-)

    Thank you Erin. We are using Zotero already for the CRM so this is a
    good idea. I can check if a new folder can be created for issue 530.

        I would also like to be involved in this discussion, please! I
        too have a reading list on the subject that I would be happy to
        share; I have been meaning to pull everything into a Zotero
        library and this is a good excuse to do so. For a single article
        to start things off, I would recommend Miriam Posner's "What's
        Next: The Radical, Unrealized Potential of the Digital
        Humanities"

        Fantastic! Thank you for sharing and you are first in the list.

        For the rest in list and if you did not attend today's sessions,
        following discussion for issue 530, a working group is being
        formed to
        discuss bias in the CRM. Please let me know if you wish to
        contribute to
        the discussion.

        All the best,

            I gathered myself bibliography about decolonizing knowledge and
            methodology especially in digital project. I could join the
            discussion
            of your working group if you want.
            Cheers,

                  Dear all,

                  In version 7.1 a short but important sentence has been
            added at the end
                  of the scope section:

                  "Discussions on the types of bias present in the CIDOC
            CRM are in
                  progress within the CIDOC CRM community."

                  Issue 530 is used to track the discussions here:

            http://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-530-bias-in-data-structure
            <http://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-530-bias-in-data-structure>

        <http://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-530-bias-in-data-structure
        <http://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-530-bias-in-data-structure>>

<http://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-530-bias-in-data-structure
            <http://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-530-bias-in-data-structure>

        <http://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-530-bias-in-data-structure
        <http://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-530-bias-in-data-structure>>>

                  It is important to engage in this discussion so that
            we first understand
                  the issues around bias and privileged positions and
            then how these may
                  or may not impact the development of the model.

                  We will then be more confident in making a more
            complete statement is
                  future versions. Issue 530 is scheduled to be
            discussed at the community
                  session of the forthcoming meeting.

                  Looking forward to it.

                  All the best,

                  Thanasis
