Dear all, After our last meeting of the CIDOC CRM SIG (25-28 February, 2020, Athens, Hellenic National Committee of ICOM), we are very close to releasing a new official, community version of CIDOC CRM (Version 7) which will enable the release of official, community encodings of the standard taking into account the significant development work that has taken place over the past few years.
Several issues, however, have remained open which we hope to tie up as efficiently as possible, especially engaging e-voting wherever possible to speed up the process. Therefore, with this mail, I am sending you a number of forms on which I would like to solicit your vote regarding several proposed changes. With regards to a proposed change, the possible votes are: Yes = accept/agree No = do not accept/agree Other = With other you can either introduce a caveat (e.g.: 'Yes, but there is a typo on word x, fix it.') or you can write VETO, if you wish to stop the proposed change from happening, in which case you should also write a justification (e.g.: 'VETO, this change is unacceptable because it violates the following principle...') In order to make vote counting easier, we have organised the vote questions into google forms. We really appreciate you taking the time to support the standard by contributing your voice. Every CIDOC CRM class or property should be accompanied by at least one illustrative example. Therefore, a number of new examples were drawn up to fill in data for properties and classes that have been introduced but not yet provided proper examples. 1 Miscellaneous Examples Here a number of miscellaneous classes and properties have been bundled. Please read the class/property scope notes and check the example and vote if you accept/agree with the example. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeOKih5BaD4e3Y9lakqa51Cmdtq8yJ6S8GkVtAPHidoMhntqA/viewform?usp=sf_link 2 Space Time Volume and Temporal Properties Examples Significant innovation has occurred in the model regarding the use of space time volumes and means for representing temporal relations. Please read the class/property scope notes and check the example and vote if you accept/agree with the example. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf07FGPi5lbER3AJlEAXidAMYvrRQTQi2Tl1pf_XpQU_9UfiQ/viewform?usp=sf_link 3 Presence Class and Related Properties Examples The Presence class and its related properties, as a specialisation of STV, are another important addition to the standard for which examples have been generated. Please read the class/property scope notes and check the examples and vote if you accept/agree with the example. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf0_502Sxk0gpoRC58YnT18Vp8E2qbH6skBiG1yboCEDplpTQ/viewform?usp=sf_link 4 New property for Presence Class In the elaboration of the above examples, it was proposed that it may be desirable/necessary to introduce a new property to the presence class which allows the documentation of the relation between an instance of E93 Presence and an instance of E53 Place. Therefore, this form allows you to vote on a) if the new property should be introduced, b) if you accept the proposed scope note and c) if you accept the various examples. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceFwCsX8HnsO551sSXh4Iol0wRLCyDyxFsbRD-mp-wuy21FA/viewform?usp=sf_link These votes are called on April 16, 2020 and the voting period will last until April 30, 2020. Thank you again for your participation in this process. As we experiment with new ways to efficiently manage SIG matters with online tools, we are of course happy to have feedback on the process/tools (good or bad). Sincerely, George Bruseker Vice-Chair CIDOC CRM SIG
