Dear Philippe,
CHIN has been one of the founding members of CRM-SIG, actually the
formation of the CRM-SIG took place in Ottawa during the CIDOC 2000
Conference. Patricia Young played an essential role in our understanding
of managing large amounts of cultural heritage data and in the shaping
of the CIDOC CRM itself from its conception in 1996 on. Kati Geber later
continued as active and valuable representative of CHIN in the CRM-SIG.
Since CHIN never resigned from being member of CRM-SIG, but just did not
have an active representative, it is a great pleasure for us just to
register and welcome you as new representative of CHIN in CRM-SIG! We
are looking forward to your participation in our discussions, virtual
and physical meetings, to learn more about and from your projects, and
to take up your contributions.
With best wishes,
Martin

Dear Martin and Chryssoula,
George has perfectly introduced CHIN’s LOD projects mobilizing CIDOC
CRM. For more context, CHIN is a Special Operating Agency within the
Department of Canadian Heritage. Part of our mandate is to guide
museums in their documentation and standardization processes. CHIN has
started to explore Linked Open Data and CIDOC CRM in 2014-2015, and I
joined the team in October 2018 to concretely start the development
phase. Before this, I was working at the Province of Quebec's
Department of Culture on similar projects. In fact, I have been
interested in CIDOC CRM since 2013 when I started my master’s degree
in digital history.
CHIN is currently working on what we call a target model for
representing actors (in the sense that CIDOC CRM imparts to that
concept) related to Canadian museums' collections. We hope to release
our work in the coming weeks and I would be glad to share it and get
your valuable input. I also noticed that CHIN was involved in early
discussions around CIDOC CRM and the SIG and would be happy to reweave
these links more formally.
Kindest regards,

*Objet :* Introductions - Philippe Michon - Semantic Web Analyst at CHIN
Dear Martin and Chryssoula,
Good morning. I hope you are well in Crete. I am writing to introduce
you to Philippe Michon. Philippe Michon is the Semantic Web Analyst
for the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN). He is leading
the team putting together the semantic web strategy and roll out for
CHIN.
CHIN is developing a number of projects that will adopt CIDOC CRM in
order to facilitate their role as a national aggregator for museum
information. At present, they are spearheading this effort with the
aggregation of persons related data in a project called Makers in Canada.
Philippe has the backing of his director for CHIN to officially
participate in the CIDOC CRM SIG and would like to be in touch with
you about how he should proceed. I have already informed him that the
next meeting will be virtual.
With you all a pleasant day.
Sincerely,
George
