This page provides additional background material for the Linked Art questionnaire.
Code Notebooks webinar presentations
The AHRC-funded Linked Art II project and Digital Scholarship at Oxford held a webinar on Tuesday 3 May 2022. In this webinar, Research Software Engineer Tanya Gray guided attendees through a practical exploration of transforming, reconciling, and visualising Linked Art, using real-world data from museums and galleries worldwide. These were be demonstrated using ‘code notebooks’ developed during the Linked Art II project and implemented in Jupyter. The notebooks provide step-by-step illustration and explanation, and can provide a foundation for further customisation.
The slides from the webinar are available:
Linked Art workshop
Linked Art ran a 2 hour workshop at the CIDOC 2020 conference providing a wealth of background motivation and detail, a recording of which can be found below.
The workshop included: - An overview of the Linked Art initiative and community (00:00) - A technical introduction to the Linked Art profile and overview of the core principles (from 00:14) (also available separately in the next section) - The Van Gogh Worldwide project and its use of the Linked Art model (from 00:34) Followed by audience Q&A - A live encoding of data from the Rijksmuseum into Linked Art (from 01:35)
Video length is 1 hour 53 minutes.
