Abstract
This paper aims to collect, critical study and present the research literature on practical applications and material documentation of CIDOC – CRM, from 2009 to 2019, in English language.The main objective of this study is the observation of semantic standard progress over the ten years of its using. The present scoping review used the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley (2005) and has followed by the rules of PRISMA – ScR. To conduct the research, Scopus/Elsevier, ScienceDirect, Springer, Semantic Scholar, CORE Aggregator, Google Scholar and MDPI Open Access Journals were searched to identify papers that were published in conference proceedings or in scientific journals, as well as through technical report papers that were developed by official bodies of CIDOC – CRM. From the 73 articles that we retrieved, 20 related to the topic of practical applications and material documentation with CIDOC – CRM semantic standard were selected for analysis. The majority of the included articles were published after 2010, from 2013 to 2019, equally distributed. Concluding this short scoping review indicates the importance of semantic ontology CIDOC – CRM for: a) solving semantic interoperability problems and ensuring information exchange and integration between heterogeneous sources of cultural heritage information, b) documenting the intangible cultural heritage, c) optimizing the documentation methods of digitizing products and representing provenance, and d) bringing spatiotemporal concepts and cultural heritage data.
