*About the CIDOC 2018 Theme*
The ‘Provenance of Knowledge’ is a core element of good practice in
documentation and so is the theme of the next ICOM-CIDOC conference, in
Heraklion-Crete-Greece from 29 September to 4 October 2018.
As an essential aspect of documentation, Provenance of Knowledge refers
to the attempt to trace the origins of the information and knowledge
about an object, an entity or an idea in order to reconstruct the whole
chain of creation, use, interpretation and dissemination of relevant
information and knowledge. The ultimate purpose of this reconstruction
is to confirm, illustrate, and validate the information and knowledge
contained in the documentation in order to facilitate understanding
across times and cultures. In this way, it contributes to scholarly
citation in information handling while connecting all the material
evidence kept in museums and other memory institutions.
The validation of information and knowledge has been greatly helped by
the increasing use of digital technologies in documentation. However,
this advancement in documentation has created new difficulties as the
abundance of the available information makes it difficult to introduce
standards and processes to model and maintain the development and
validity of documented information.
The 2018 CIDOC conference aims at supporting museums by deepening the
understanding of documentation as a means of knowledge preservation,
dissemination and exchange.
