CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model

Details

Acronym	CIDOC-CRM
Visibility	Public
Description	The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) provides definitions and a formal structure for describing the implicit and explicit concepts and relationships used in cultural heritage documentation. The CIDOC CRM is intended to promote a shared understanding of cultural heritage information by providing a common and extensible semantic framework that any cultural heritage information can be mapped to. It is intended to be a common language for domain experts and implementers to formulate requirements for information systems and to serve as a guide for good practice of conceptual modelling. In this way, it can provide the "semantic glue" needed to mediate between different sources of cultural heritage information, such as that published by museums, libraries and archives.

Preferred Name	Persistent Item
Definitions	This class comprises items that have a persistent identity, sometimes known as “endurants” in philosophy. They can be repeatedly recognized within the duration of their existence by identity criteria rather than by continuity or observation. Persistent Items can be either physical entities, such as people, animals or things, or conceptual entities such as ideas, concepts, products of the imagination or common names. The criteria that determine the identity of an item are often difficult to establish -; the decision depends largely on the judgement of the observer. For example, a building is regarded as no longer existing if it is dismantled and the materials reused in a different configuration. On the other hand, human beings go through radical and profound changes during their life-span, affecting both material composition and form, yet preserve their identity by other criteria. Similarly, inanimate objects may be subject to exchange of parts and matter. The class E77 Persistent Item does not take any position about the nature of the applicable identity criteria and if actual knowledge about identity of an instance of this class exists. There may be cases, where the identity of an E77 Persistent Item is not decidable by a certain state of knowledge. The main classes of objects that fall outside the scope the E77 Persistent Item class are temporal objects such as periods, events and acts, and descriptive properties.

Add NCBO Web Widgets to your site for CIDOC-CRM

Widget type	Widget demonstration
Jump To Type a class name from CIDOC-CRM and jump to it in BioPortal Get code	Step 2: Follow the Instructions Download the quick_jump.js file and put it on your server Copy the code below and paste it to your HTML page Note: If you would like to use Quick Jump across multiple ontologies: You can enter a comma-separated list of ontology ids: var BP_ontology_id = "NCIt,SNOMEDCT"; You can set the variable to 'all' to search all ontologies in BioPortal: var BP_ontology_id = "all"; To include definitions in the Jump To drop-down, add the following variable in Javascript: var BP_include_definitions = true; In the code that you just pasted, make sure to change the path to the quick_jump.js file to point to the location where you put the file (relative to your HTML file) For example, if you put the quick_jump.js file in the same directory as your HTML file, this is the code you would use: <div id="bp_quick_jump"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var BP_ontology_id = "CIDOC-CRM";</script> <script src="quick_jump.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> For more help visit NCBO Widget Wiki
Form Autocomplete Fill your form fields with classes from CIDOC-CRM Get code	Example 1 (start typing the class name to get its full URI) Example 2 (get the ID for a class) Example 3 (get the preferred name for a class) Step 2: Follow the Instructions Download the form_complete.js file and put it on your server. In the header for the page where you want the form field, include the form_complete.js file. On your form, for the fields where you want to use the class-selection widget, specify the field's class in the following format: `bp_form_complete-{ontology_id_list}-{value}` For example, `bp_form_complete-NCIT-uri` will use NCI Thesaurus (ontology id is NCIT) and will put the class URI in the field after the user selects the class from the pull-down list. Note: In addition to single ontology ids, you can use a list: `bp_form_complete-NCIT,NCBITAXON-uri` OR use 'all' to search across all BioPortal ontologies: `bp_form_complete-all-uri` The autocomplete widget accesses ontology content from the latest version of the ontology. You can use the following parameters to select which value will be placed into the user-visible input field: `uri` put the complete URI of the class (e.g., http://www.cidoc-crm.org/cidoc-crm/E8_Acquisition ) `shortid` put the short id of the class, as used in BioPortal (e.g., "Common_Neoplasm"); `name` put the preferred name of the class (e.g., "Common Neoplasm"); In addition to the input element you defined, there are four hidden form elements that are created and then set when a user selects a class from the list. For example, if you create a field with this code: <input type="text" name="a" class="bp_form_complete-all-uri" size="100"/> The 'name' attribute is used to create the four following fields (note how the 'a' from the name attribute is appended to the id attribute): <input type="hidden" id="a_bioportal_preferred_name"> <input type="hidden" id="a_bioportal_concept_id"> <input type="hidden" id="a_bioportal_ontology_id"> <input type="hidden" id="a_bioportal_full_id"> Additional parameters are documented on the NCBO Widget Wiki For more help visit NCBO Widget Wiki
