Abstract

Event-based modelling provides obvious advantages for the modelling of provenance information. In
particular, the concept of “place” plays an important role; we compare different definitions and their
background. Next, we look at the use of “place” in gazetteers, which are important resources for cultural
heritage information, and the relation between place names and their temporal dimension. If we use CIDOC
CRM for provenance modelling, the question comes up to what extent the concept of “place” as understood in
CRM and its extension CRMgeo provide means to enable interoperability. Originating from a consideration of
modelling alternatives in CRM ver. 5 (without CRMgeo), we point out the advantages provided by the
integration of CRMgeo into CRM ver. 6. Nevertheless, there are still open questions, and we have to find
pragmatic solutions in practical applications. Finally, we present the Bavarian Academy project “Corpus of
Baroque Ceiling Paintings in Germany” as an example.
