The Rock Art Database (RADB) is a virtual organisation that aims to build a global rock art community. It brings together rock art
enthusiasts and professionals from around the world in one centralized location through the deployed publicly available RADB
Management System. This online platform allows users to share, manage and discuss rock art information and offers a new look at
rock art data through the use of new technologies in rich media formats. Full access to the growing platform is currently only

This paper forms a part of the larger Rock Art Database (RADB) project. It discusses the design stage of the RADB System and the development of a conceptual RADB Reference Model (RARM) that is used to inform the design of the Rock Art Database Management System. It examines the success and failure of international and national systems and uses the Australian heritage sector and Australian rock art as a test model to develop a method for the RADB System design. The system aims to help improve rock art management by introducing the CIDOC CRM in conjunction with a rock art specific domain model. It seeks to improve data compatibility and data sharing to help with the integration of a variety of resources to create the global Rock Art Database Management System.
