CIDOC CRM Compatible Ontologies form specialized ontologies of different sorts that are maintained by third parties which follow the compatibility rules for CRM but which have specific project or discipline focus. They do not have the aim to be harmonized extensions but to match to the CRM at a moment and for a specific reason.
A CIDOC CRM Compatible Ontology will be listed on the CRM SIG website after it has passed a basic certification procedure for ensuring that it meets the technical requirements for being so listed. For information on extension scope, CIDOC CRM compatibility criteria, and the procedure to become compatible, please refer to this document.
To submit an ontology for assessment as a potential CIDOC CRM Compatible Ontology, please fill out this form.

| SeaLiT v1.2 | Seafaring Lives in Transition Ontology; An extension of CIDOC-CRM for the modelling of Maritime History information | The SeaLiT Ontology is a formal ontology intended to facilitate the integration, mediation and interchange of heterogeneous information related to maritime history. It aims at providing the semantic definitions needed to transform disparate, localised information sources of maritime history into a coherent global resource. It also serves as a common language for domain experts and IT developers to formulate requirements and to agree on system functionalities with respect to the correct handling of historical (maritime) information. |

| AAAo v2.0 | Art and Architectural Argumentation Ontology | The scope of this extension is to support art and architectural research in the sense of the study of primary and secondary documents for the derivation, manually and programmatically, of historically contextual facts that can be used to support reflection and structured argumentation. The core expressivity that this extension adds is the ability to accurately express historically bound, contextual social facts relative to the agents holding those beliefs and the temporal period for which those beliefs were valid. |
