Built on Open Standards
SemCMD is powered by the Arches platform, the leading open-source solution for cultural heritage data management. Our semantic model implements the Parthenos Entities Ontology, carefully aligned with the CIDOC CRM standard and developed in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science.
This foundation ensures your research metadata is interoperable, sustainable, and ready for the semantic web. Every connection you make in SemCMD contributes to a linked data ecosystem that transcends institutional boundaries.
