Introduction

The Linked Art Data Model is an application profile that can be used to describe cultural heritage resources, with a focus on artworks and museum-oriented activities. It defines common patterns and terms to ensure that the resulting data can be easily used and is based on real-world data and use cases.

Development of the model for version 1.0 has finished, and the documentation is being tidied for an official release shortly.
