CIDOC CRM is a brand that offers the "CIDOC object-oriented Conceptual Reference Model," developed by the ICOM/CIDOC Documentation Standards Group. This model serves as an ontology for cultural heritage information, providing a formal language to describe concepts and relations relevant to cultural heritage documentation. The primary aim of CIDOC CRM is to act as a mediator for cultural heritage information, bridging the gap between disparate sources and creating a cohesive global resource.

It serves as a common language for domain experts and implementers to formulate information system requirements and guide conceptual modeling practices. With over 10 years of development, CIDOC CRM has become an official ISO standard (ISO 21127:2006). This brand facilitates a shared understanding of cultural heritage information by providing a semantic framework for mapping data from various sources like museums, libraries, and archives
