*About
the CIDOC 2018 Theme*
The ‘Provenance of Knowledge’ is a core element of good practice
in documentation and so is the theme of the next ICOM-CIDOC
conference, in Heraklion-Crete-Greece from 29 September to 4
October 2018.
As an essential aspect of documentation, Provenance of Knowledge
refers to the attempt to trace the origins of the information and
knowledge about an object, an entity or an idea in order to
reconstruct the whole chain of creation, use, interpretation and
dissemination of relevant information and knowledge. The ultimate
purpose of this reconstruction is to confirm, illustrate, and
validate the information and knowledge contained in the
documentation in order to facilitate understanding across times
and cultures. In this way, it contributes to scholarly citation in
information handling while connecting all the material evidence
kept in museums and other memory institutions.
The validation of information and knowledge has been greatly
helped by the increasing use of digital technologies in
documentation. However, this advancement in documentation has
created new difficulties as the abundance of the available
information makes it difficult to introduce standards and
processes to model and maintain the development and validity of
documented information.
The 2018 CIDOC conference aims at supporting museums by deepening
the understanding of documentation as a means of knowledge
preservation, dissemination and exchange.
