Mapping to CRM 1

• Identity part is a set of alternative
  appellations
• ltchronItemgt can be mapped to a temporal entity
  (events)
• Relations the mapping will depend on the type
  and the sub types, e.g. attr xlinkarcrole

29
Mapping to CRM 2

• Relations the mapping will depend on the type
  and the sub types, e.g.
• attr xlinkarcrole, no controlled vocabulary
• attr cpfRelationType value list suggested not
  used in socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu
• ltcpfRelationgt
• associatedWith, correspondedWith,
• ltfunctionRelationgt
• controls, owns, performs,
• ltresourceRelationgt
• referencedIn, creatorOf,

30
Mapping to CRM 3

• General problem
• Events in EAC-CPF cannot contain relations
• No linking between instances of relations and
  events
• Minimal suggestion
• Adjust the XML-schema for EAC-CPF add relations
  to ltchronItemgt
• Introduce at least record internal identifiers in
  addition to the current use of free text
  descriptions
