Congratulations Dominic and CES Ore... and by extension to the other members of my #cidocCRM PLN (Personal Learning Network, Oyvind, Arianna, and Barry -- some/most of whom may be MCN members),
Congratulations from FactMiners and The Softalk Apple Project to the members of the CIDOC-CRM Special Interest Group developing and maintaining this most-interesting community resource, the Conceptual Reference Model. The Collections Trust collaboration is especially note-worthy when taken together with release of version 6.0 of the model definition and major updates to domain-specific extensions as bullet listed and linked here: http://www.cidoc-crm.org/press.htm The #cidocCRM SPECTRUM extension is especially encouraging as it foreshadows a widening interest in the "sausage-making" aspect of #cidocCRM adoption; and that is using the Conceptual Reference Model in metamodel-driven software design and development. We did our best at #MCN2014 to find Kindred Spirits interested in the "sausage-making" of #cidocCRMdev. What we found, as you would expect, were many folks seriously interested in the resulting sausage (e.g., the ability to incorporate a FactMiners' Fact Cloud companion resource into their on-line digital collection, or the ability to do "Rainman/Sherlock" metamodel-guided cognitive computing explorations of their text corpora) rather than those interested in the "making" activity of #cidocCRM metamodel-driven software design and development. The SPECTRUM collaboration and Version 6.0 release have given the museum informatics community an opportunity to spawn a group of Kindred Spirits -- maybe an MCN SIG or BOF, not sure, your suggestions welcome -- as we informally make 2015 the "Year of #cidocCRM Development." For our part, FactMiners and The Softalk Apple Project are launching our 'Year of the #cidocCRM Full-Graph Deep Dive': http://goo.gl/XZKkCE While I've outlined FactMiners' goals and activity plans for the year ahead, on a more general point I want to recommend to Kindred Spirits interested in #cidocCRM software development and/or a 'full graph' interpretation of the #cidocCRM that we use the hashtags #cidocCRMdev and #cidocCRMgraph, respectively for our Tweets, posts, and relevant communication. BTW and speaking from time-consuming experience, Tweets with #CIDOC-CRM are not only 'shouty', they draw you into a web of interactions related to the '900-pound gorilla in the memestream' of CRM having to do with customers and relationships, etc. So for 'conversational' CRM tweeting/tagging, I find #cidocCRM works great. To the #cidocCRMdev and #cidocCRMgraph Year Ahead!
