Resumen
In this presentation I will discuss the criteria that were used to design and develop the Cultural Heritage Abstract Reference Model (CHARM, www.charminfo.org), a comprehensive and modular ontology of cultural heritage. In particular, I will focus on issues such as adaptability, expressiveness, temporality, subjectivity and vagueness. I will also discuss some design choices that were selected, such as the object/structure duality and the performative/manifestation distinction. I will also give an overview of the resulting ontology and provide some examples of its usage in real-world scenarios.
