What is HADOC?

• HADOC = Harmonisation de la production des données culturelles

• HADOC = name of both a programme and a conceptual model

• HADOC = a French Ministry of Culture initiative, led by Katell Briatte (member of the AFNOR WG who translated ISO 21127 into French)

The HADOC Programme

• Since 2008• Goals:

Fight current heterogeneity in data produced by the Ministry and affiliated bodies

Facilitate interoperability Facilitate access to and exploitation of

data On the long term, provide a national

reference database for the identification of "cultural objects"

The HADOC Conceptual Model

• Version 1 released in 2013• Represented in UML• Initial intention to be interoperable

with: CIDOC CRM EDM LIDO

Some easy basics, to start with

Bien Culturel

Dimension

Mesure

Acteur

Événement

Identifiant

E71 Man-Made-Thing

E54 Dimension

E16 Measurement

E39 Actor

E5 Event

E42 Identifier

Some trickier equivalences

HADOC• Appellation

• Activité

• Datation

Periode

Laps de Temps

Date

• Localisation

CIDOC CRM / FRBROO

• not E41 Appellation but F35 Nomen Use Statement

• not E7 Activity but F51 Pursuit

• E13 Attribute Assignment

not just E4 Period but E13 P141 E4

not just E52 Time-Span but E13 P141 E52

not just E50 Date but E13 P141 E50

• not just E53 Place but E13 P141 E53

Conclusions

• HADOC is "CIDOC CRM aware",although not entirely "CIDOC CRM inspired"

• However, some importantdifferences in formalism

• HADOC-to-CIDOC CRM mapping not quite straightforward, but not unfeasible(also using some FRBROO features)

• HADOC definitely not an extension of CIDOC CRM, but on the whole compatible with it

• French HADOC modelled data will predictably play nicely with CIDOC CRM modelled data
