The Torre do Tombo National Archive, which coordinates the archive at national level, has in its possession a unique collection of historical and contemporary cultural objects that date from the ninth century to the present day.The archive has identified problems with the limitation of the retrieval of entity information, since these are present in the descriptive textual fields and need to be interpreted and removed from those same fields. The ISAD(G) and ISAAR(CPF) standards, currently used for the representation of cultural objects, do not respond to all current needs, among which are the search for metadata that are present in the text fields of the standard. It is therefore necessary to find a data model that allows retrieving all the information and connecting to the international data network. In order to solve this problem, Torre do Tombo considered the CIDOC-CRM model, a data model created and applied in the area of museums, as the metadata tool indicated to explore in a new information system for archives.This work has, therefore, to understand what CIDOC-CRM is and how it can be applied to the archives area, using the example of the Torre do Tombo National Archive to guide the elaboration of the model. In order to do this, we will analyse the different entities and properties present in the CIDOC-CRM model, in order to see how these can be associated and mapped with respect to the metadata currently used in the ISAD(G) and ISAAR(CPF)).The present work resulted in the ArchOnto ontology, the new data model for the archives. This is based on the CIDOC-CRM model and the Data Object ontology, created to validate the data to be inserted in the archival description fields. It also resulted in a first characterization of the cultural objects of the Digitarq database, a database of the records of all national archives.
