inter-relationships and additional information considering the reconstruction issues.
It is a challenging issue since it is difficult to preserve the knowledge about the log-
ical and temporal components, and all the objects such as the captured 3D motion
data, Max/MSP patches, configuration files, etc, in order to be properly connected
for the reproduction of a performance [
235
].
Due to these multiple dependencies, the preservation of an IMP requires robust
representation and association of the digital resources. This can be performed
using entities and properties defined for CIDOC-CRM and FRBRoo. The CIDOC
Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) is being proposed as a standard ontology for
enabling interoperability amongst digital archives [
236
].
CIDOC-CRM defines a core set concepts for physical as well as temporal entities
[
237
,
238
]. CIDOC-CRM was originally designed for describing cultural heritage
collections in museum archives. A harmonisation effort has also been carried out
to align the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) [
239
]to
CIDOC-CRM for describing artistic contents. The result is an object oriented ver-
sion of FRBR, called FRBRoo [
240
]. The concepts and relations of the FRBRoo are
directly mapped to CIDOC-CRM.
