Mapping to CRM 1 Identity part is a set of alternative appellations can be mapped to a temporal entity (events) Relations: the mapping will depend on the type and the sub types, e.g. attr: xlink:arcrole

Mapping to CRM 2 Relations: the mapping will depend on the type and the sub types, e.g. – attr: xlink:arcrole, no controlled vocabulary – attr: cpfRelationType – value list suggested not used in socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu – associatedWith, correspondedWith, … – controls, owns, performs, … – referencedIn, creatorOf, …

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 – Introduce at least record internal identifiers in addition to the current use of free text descriptions
