Abstract

This work presents the initial thoughts towards the harmonization of the CRMba and CRMarchaeo models, two extensions of the CIDOC CRM, the former developed to model the complexity of a built structure from the perspective of buildings archaeology, while the latter was developed to model the processes involved in the investigation of subsurface archaeological deposits. The paper describes the modelling principles of CRMba and CRMarchaeo, and identifies common concepts that will allow to merge the two ontological models.
