# CIDOC CRM

**CIDOC CRM** (Conceptual Reference Model) is an international standard ontology for the exchange of cultural heritage information. 

The [[herrenhauszentrum-des-ostseeraums]] utilizes CIDOC CRM to map its data model, ensuring that the information captured in its [[wikibase]] backend is interoperable with other global cultural heritage databases and follows a standardized conceptual framework for describing historical and artistic events and objects.
