The CIDOC Co-reference Working Group

Scholars, researchers, museum curators or library cataloguers continuously trace co-references in their daily work. This extremely time-consuming work can be made more efficient by sharing the knowledge. Such sharing would complement centralized approaches found in present Digital Library Systems.

The long term goal of the Co-reference Working Group is to research into possible implementations of a Co-reference network for cultural and natural heritage information.

For the period 2007-2008, the aim of the WG is to develop a test application based on a few data sets to demonstrate our approach. The results will be presented at the CIDOC annaul conference in September 2008.
