<p>The <strong>CIDOC-CRM</strong> is the ISO standard <strong><a href="http://www.cidoc-crm.org/">Conceptual Reference Model</a></strong> of the <a href="http://icom.museum/">International Council of Museums</a> (ICOM). As such, it has both <em>metadata</em> coverage as well as <em>metamodel</em> coverage of collections management process/workflow dimensions that are absent from more ontologically-focused metadata specifications. </p>

<p>FactMiners.org will use the CIDOC-CRM for guidance in designing the underlying digital collections management aspects of our platform while incorporating METS/ALTO metadata standards and applying best practices from its user community as we "piece the veil" to model the representational meaning (AKA "mine the facts") of an artifact/object. <strong>METS/ALTO</strong> will be especially key to providing the "article-level segmentation" needed to effectively model the complexity of our first digital archive, <a href="http://www.SoftalkApple.com">The Softalk Apple Project</a>. </p>
<p>We are so excited to learn about the Library of Congress' <em><a href="http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/">"Chronicling America"</a></em> program and website, along with affiliated LAM projects like the <em><a href="http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc">California Digital Newspaper Collection</a></em>. We now have a good handle of how to proceed with our DSL extension of the CIDOC-CRM as explored in our award-winning Neo4j GraphGist: <em><a href="http://gist.neo4j.org/?7817558">The "Self-Descriptive" Neo4j Graph Database: Embedded Metamodel Subgraphs in the FactMiners Social-Game Ecosystem</a></em>.</p>
<p>Together, <strong>METS</strong> – the <em><a href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/">Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard</a></em> – and <strong>ALTO</strong> – <em><a href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/alto/">Technical Metadata for Optical Character Recognition</a></em> – give us an excellent roadmap and supporting technologies with which to drive the "last mile" of granularity whereby CIDOC-CRM-based collections management and preservation micro-tasks (AKA FactMiners gameplay) can be performed on the digital object's article-level content. FactMiners' elemental facts will be most meaningful when discovered and validated within an article-level segmented digital preservation object as the FactMiners "playing field".</p>
<p>With this new piece of our roadmap puzzle falling into place, we have a very good idea of how to revise Part 2 of our GraphGist about modeling the Softalk Magazine archive collection. So... full steam ahead! :-) More as it shapes up.</p>
