SSHOC - National Gallery - Raphael Research Resource CIDOC CRM Mapped Dataset

In 2007 the Raphael Research Resource project began to examine how complex conservation, scientific and art historical research could be combined in a flexible digital form. Exploring the presentation of interrelated high resolution images and text, along with how the data could be stored in relation to an event driven ontology in the form of RDF triples. The original main user interface is still live, In 2021/21 as part of the SSHOC Project the raw data stored within the system was mapped to the CIDOC CRM using a custom set of Python scripts (doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6461654).

The SSHOC work aimed to make this data more FAIR so in addition to mapping it to a standard ontology, to increase Interoperability, it has also been made available in the form of open linkable data combined with a SPARQL end-point. This live data presentation can been found Here. This deposit contains the CIDOC-CRM mapped data formatted in XML and an example model diagram representing some of the key relationships covered in the data-set.
