== Do the Semantic FRBRoo ==
* Rosie Le Faive, rlefaive@upei.ca, University of Prince Edward Island
[http://www.islandora.ca Islandora] is great for creating repositories of any data type, but how can you model meaningful relationships between digital objects and use them to tell a story?
At UPEI, I’m assembling an ethnography of Prince Edward Island’s traditional fiddle music that includes musical clips, video clips, oral histories, musical notation, images, and ethnographic commentaries. In order to present an exhibition-style site, I’m tying these digital objects together via the people, places, events, tunes and topics that they share or describe.
To describe the relationships, I’m extending Islandora to use [http://www.cidoc-crm.org/frbr_inro.html FRBRoo], a vocabulary that combines the FRBR model with CIDOC-CRM, the the object-oriented museum documentation ontology. These modules being developed will allow other researchers to create a structured, navigable digital repository of diverse object types, that uses Islandora as an exhibition platform.
