Description
The collection item reference data model provides a list of standard fields that are typically present in the general description of physical documents in a cultural heritage data system. The physical information carrier is taken here in the sense of a movable, physical item of some sort such as would be typically inventoried by a museum, archive or library. Specific documentation of elements of a physical information carrier depend highly upon the kind of document it is. This reference model does not intend to cover such specificities but to remain at a general level description, providing a consolidated, high-level reference data model of most commonly reused descriptors for a physical information carrier and to provide for these, in turn, a set of standard semantic mappings to the CIDOC CRM. Moreover, each field is marked with regards to its potential functionality with regards to instance matching between overlapping datasets.
