Revision history

Records

  1. v0.6: Linked Art API 1.0 Conformance Pass

    Brought the Linked Art layer to API 1.0. Corrected the CRM types — the website and image became DigitalObjects, the Eight Sentences a textual LinguisticObject — and classified every name, identifier, and statement with its AAT term. Added standalone records for the studio (Group), the concept, and a provenance activity (with a CC-BY RightAcquisition), a HAL _links block on every record, an Activity-Streams discovery collection, and an .htaccess serving everything as application/ld+json with GET/OPTIONS and CORS for full static conformance. The records are certified against the Getty cromulent reference library (which caught and fixed a real CRM error) plus a JSON-LD expansion, and that certification now runs in CI on every push.

  2. v0.5: Linked Art (CIDOC-CRM) Object Records

    Published per-artwork Linked Art JSON-LD — the museum data standard built on CIDOC-CRM — for the works on view and the website itself, bound together by a collection Set. Each record cross-walks its Getty AAT/ULAN classifications to Wikidata, so an object is legible to actual collection systems. The records live under data/linked-art/ and are linked from each work.

  3. v0.4: Getty Vocabularies / Linked Art Layer

    Extended the linked-data grounding into the art domain. Each concept and figure now carries its Getty identifier — ULAN for people, AAT for concepts — alongside its Wikidata QID, recorded in data/graph.json and surfaced in the Systems node register. The museum is now legible to the art world's own authority files, not only the general graph.

  4. v0.3: Wikidata Knowledge-Graph Layer

    Grounded the semantic layer in Wikidata. Each concept, source, and influence node now carries a stable Wikidata identifier, the node register exposes those as linked open data, and the Systems page queries Wikidata live for related concepts. Added a canonical graph data file at data/graph.json and sameAs links in the structured data.

  5. v0.2: Roadmap Implementation Pass

    Added real routes for Artworks, Theory, Systems, About, and Changelog. Published six initial works, one primary theory text, a ten-node semantic graph, citation block, colophon, and visible provenance structure.

  6. v0.1: Sentence Sequence And Landing System

    Reframed the Eight Sentences as a proposition sequence after Sol LeWitt, removed overclaiming language, added accessible glosses, visual anchor treatment, and a visible semantic graph.
