ITN-DCH Ontology Workshop - Cyprus, 2015

An official workshop of the ITN-DCH consortium, this event was held in Cyprus in November of 2015. With metadatas and ontology as the central theme of the workshop, the importance of introducing CIDOC CRM to the diverse attendant audience of CH professionals dealing with different aspects of CH management was imperative. The CIDOC CRM Game was introduced at this event as a means to familiarize audiences unaware of semantic web and formal ontology practice to these concepts in a fun, friendly and hands on way.
