CIDOC 2006 call for papers
This call for papers was sent to the FRBR mailing list last week. The FRBR/CRM Harmonization Group will make a report, I’m sure, about things such as were discussed at the Third FRBR/CRM Harmonization meeting in March this year.
The CIDOC annual meeting and conference 2006 will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden, September 10-14 2006, in the localities of The Museum of World Culture and nearby venues. Invitation and further info at: http://cidoc06.se
CIDOC is the international focus for the documentation interests of museums and related organizations – an international committee of ICOM – International Council of Museums
The conference themes enlighten the fact that more and more efforts are taken in the field of cross border cooperation and the focus on standardisation from outside the traditional museum sector.
At the same time as other organisations and users looks at museums we also have to look at the knowledge management movements outside museums and to collaborate between sectors as natural and cultural heritage. Aspects as fighting illicit traffic with heritage objects and bringing intangible heritage knowledge to future needs, amongst others, also form a challenge for the documentation systems.
We also would like to enforce the museology and information science researchers to study the standardisation evolution within the museum field.
Opening for a broader knowledge of CIDOC and the CIDOC work we hope to gain a stronger adoption in everyday work in museums, and a more active partaking in future CIDOC activities.
We welcome and encourage — together with the established experts — students, young professionals and curators coming from the universities and not earlier represented museums around the world, to take part in the conference as delegates – and to become members of the CIDOC.
