Abstract

The documentation process of cultural goods, originated from Museums, Libraries and Archives, has proved to be a very difficult and complex task due to the enormous mass of data and the variety of the documentation standards that each organization uses. In this paper, we present the design of an ideal model for the documentation of archaeological objects based on CIDOC CRM guidelines for museum documentation, that occurred during our effort to document a fruitstand from a systematic excavation that takes place at Karabournaki, during the last decade.
