The artwork reference data model provides a list of standard fields that are typically present in the general description of an artwork in a cultural heritage data system. The artwork is taken here in the sense of a movable, physical work of some sort such as would be typically inventoried by a museum. Specific documentation of elements of an artwork depends highly upon the kind of artwork it is. This reference model does not intend to cover such specificities but to remain at a general level description, providing a consolidated, high-level reference data model of most commonly reused descriptors for an artwork and to provide for these, in turn, a set of standard semantic mappings to the CIDOC CRM. Moreover, each field is marked with regards to its potential functionality with regards to instance matching between overlapping datasets.
This field is used to record the metatype attributed to a formal classification. The function of a metatype is to enable the programmatic distinction between different kinds of type applied to the same documented artwork.

This field is used to record the subject of representation of the documented artwork. It is meant to capture general subject areas, not particular individual items represented.
This field is used to document a URI which is meant to indicate an equivalence between the documented artwork and a resolvable, structured reference resource that stands as a document for this self same entity.
