Description:

The MetaPaintings Description project aims to create a comprehensive ontology utilizing the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC CRM) to document and describe meta-level attributes of paintings. MetaPaintings, in this context, refer to paintings that transcend their physical form and encompass additional layers of meaning, such as cultural significance, historical context, and artistic interpretation.

The CIDOC CRM serves as the foundational framework for organizing and categorizing the diverse array of meta-information associated with paintings. By adopting CIDOC CRM's semantic structure, the ontology ensures interoperability and compatibility with other cultural heritage data systems and allows for seamless integration with existing databases and repositories.
