Registration is now closed for this workshop.
This workshop took place in London, UK. Conservation documentation combines many different types of records. During this workshop examined best practices for encoding these records.
The workshop took place over two days on 12-13 September. In the morning of Thursday the 12th of September, participants attended a series of lectures introducing the principles of data modelling, the CIDOC-CRM and its relationship to Linked Data, as well as typical examples of data modelling in conservation. In the afternoon, sample conservation was examined and modelled. In the morning of Friday the 13th of September, a wider range of modelling examples were presented, while in the afternoon participants worked towards proposing ways for modelling complex cases of conservation records from databases and documentation systems as well as image and document metadata. The capacity of the CIDOC-CRM to comprehensively describe conservation data was assessed during these sessions. This workshop brought together technical expertise around Linked Data and conservation expertise around the interpretation of database records.
