| Summary: | Formal ontologies such as CIDOC CRM (Conceptual Reference Model) form part of the central strategy for the medium and longterm
integration of cultural heritage data to allow for its greater valorization and dissemination. Despite this, uptake of CIDOC CRM
at the ground level of Cultural Heriage (CH) practice is limited. Part of the reason behind this lack of uptake lies in the fact that
ontologies are considered too complicated and abstract for application in real life scenarios. This paper presents the rationale behind
and the design of a CIDOC CRM game, the intent of which is to provide a learning mechanism to allow learners of wide
backgrounds and interests to approach CIDOC CRM in a hands-on and interactive fashion. The CIDOC CRM game consist of decks
of cards and game boards that allow players to engage with the concepts of a formal ontology in relation to real data in an
entertaining and informative way. It is argued that the CIDOC CRM Game can form an important part of introducing the basic
elements of formal ontology and this standard to a wider audience in order to aid wider understanding and adoption of the same. |
