CIDOC CRM-based modeling of archaeological catalogue data

Over the last decades, the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model has become the internationally recognized standard for modeling data from the field of cultural heritage. With the growing digitalization of the humanities, the scope of use cases for the CRM is being steadily extended to topics beyond museum knowledge. Among those is the digital publication of archaeological catalogues that focus on the description of sites, associated finds, objects, and the relations between them. This paper presents an exemplary modeling of a standard archaeological catalogue object and offers an outlook on the benefits such a model provides for researchers.
