[Crm-sig] The archivists are (stil) a different sect ?

[Maria Jose de Almeida]

The Portuguese National Archives are working on a new data model for 
archival description with CIDOC-CRM… I guess Portuguese archivists are 
coming to realize that it is indeed an improvement to the archival 
practices :-)

We presented the project at the 2018 annual conference in Herklion:
