"Practice of Knowledge Sharing"
International CIDOC CRM Workshop
			ICS-FORTH, Heraklion, Crete, Greece
April 20-22 2004 

The CIDOC CRM Special Interest Groupi and ICS-FORTH invite you to a three-day International Workshop designed to bring together researchers and practitioners in information provision and exchange, be it within organizations or on the envisaged semantic Web, in the area of scientific and cultural heritage, with the goal to present and discuss technical, organizational, and philosophical issues of effectively sharing knowledge among museums, libraries, and archives and integrating information within cultural institutions. 

The program will comprise 2 days of submitted papers and discussions. The third day will be a CIDOC CRM SIG working meeting, open to all interested newcomers. The working meeting will deal with the planning of actions in reaction to the discussions and presentations.  Paper submissions are welcome on the following topics (or any other topic relevant to the workshop theme):

Inferencing, queries and user interfaces to large repositories of cultural information, in particular in CRM compatible form. Hiding complexity to the user.
Methodology and tools of mapping source schemata to the CRM or other global models for information integration.
Visualization of the CRM and other ontologies rich in relationships.
Integration architecture for large-scale cultural information services: mediator versus data warehouse approach.
Systems and architectures for large organizations that integrate collection, laboratory, archive and library data.
