Scholars, researchers, museum curators or library cataloguers continuously trace co-references in their daily work. This extremely time-consuming work can be made more efficient by sharing the knowledge. Such sharing would complement centralized approaches found in present Digital Library Systems.
The Co-reference Working Group was established by CIDOC at the meeting during the ICOM general conference in Vienna in September 2007. The WG is running a mailing list. For more information, contact the chair.
The long term goal of the Working Group is to research into possible implementations of a Co-reference network for cultural and natural heritage information.
