Postclassical Work This model is intended to enable the representation and sharing of data relevant to physical items, which carry content that provides evidence of a historical witnessing of, response to or reference to a particular Monument. In the Census, this category can include drawings, prints, paintings, medals, and statuettes, or written documents such as printed guidebooks, manuscripts, letters and inventories. Group The Group reference data model provides a list of standard descriptors (fields) that are typically present in the description of a Group or institution in cultural heritage data systems. The intention of this reference model is to provide a consolidated, high-level formal structure comprising the most commonly reused descriptors for a Group.Image This model is intended to enable the representation and sharing of data relevant to images representing objects within the field of research. Person This model is intended to enable the representation and sharing of data relevant to real-world, physical persons. Period This model is intended to enable the documentation and correct referencing of historical periods for use in datation. Bibliographic Entity This model is intended to enable the representation and sharing of data relevant to bibliographic sources that have been used in the course of researching and documenting. Antique Monument This model is intended to enable the representation and sharing of data relevant to artistic, architectural and historical artefacts extant in the past or present.
