Collection information is one of the important resources that has long-term preservation value to museums. The paper proposes a domain ontology centered on ancient Chinese artifacts, aiming to help any organizations or individuals who own ancient Chinese artifacts collection better organize and manage their collection information, furthermore, improve collection search experience so that users can retrieve objects in the collection more easily and efficiently to ensure the availability of information as the digital object. The paper elaborates the creation process of “Ancient Chinese Artifacts Conceptual Reference Model” (ACACRM), summarizing and sharing practical experience for providing reference for museums with similar needs and application scenarios.
