Abstract

The definition of Megalithism is found in specialized and academic works, on Archaeology and Prehistory, as well as in generalist dictionaries, glossaries and encyclopedias. However we are not aware of formal definitions specifically to this particular domain. This paper presents an under development proposal of Megalithism Knowledge Representation that relies on CIDOC CRM to represent the monuments and concepts of European Megalithism. It includes the granularity required to represent this form of architecture: from composite parts to single elements, such as standing stones. A structured way for representing such definitions is required in order to guide future knowledge extraction from Megalithism reports.
