We can all do this jigsaw

What if the pieces were 2500 years old, were all faded, cracked and with the edges worn away so that they didn’t actually fit together any more?

What if the pieces were in 4 different museums?

Re-Assembly
You have some (eroded) pieces.The computer fits them together.
This is hard in 2 dimensions, never mind in 3D!

Semantic data, natural language data
CIDOC-CRM (“conceptual reference model”) ISO 21127:2006
Object type, place, date, material, style, people, institution, bibliography, dimensions, school, production technique, …
Object hasNote “…lots of free-form text added by the curator” Natural Language Processing (NLP) required to extract further information
The CRM harmonises knowledge to support discovery and enables knowledge collaboration
The British Museum has 2.5M objects described in CRM
provides definitions and a formal structure for describing the implicit and explicit concepts and relationships used in cultural heritage documentation.
