Abstract
There is a burgeoning discussion on creating a new schema for Oral History, an Oral History Core. In this paper we present the characteristics of Oral History collections and the problems users might face when attempting to access this type of material. As a solution, we propose an integration model. From the cultural heritage milieu, we have chosen CIDOC CRM that acts as a mediating schema, while from the European audiovisual community, we have selected EBUcore ontology. By taking into consideration their strengths and their characteristics, we form a mapping methodology from EBUcore to CIDOC CRM and we present the issues that might rise. The goal of this research is to generate a model of describing Oral History interviews, in order to facilitate exchange of information between existing collection management systems of audiovisual and cultural heritage collections and to meliorate the searching experience for users.
