About the Art Properties project

This project will produce linked data descriptions for Columbia University’s art objects, which are overseen by Art Properties at the Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library. The collection in total numbers about 10,000 objects, including public outdoor sculpture, paintings, photography, works on paper and decorative works. At present, data describing the art objects is captured in a spreadsheet according to locally developed guidelines following conventions developed by the art community and using both Library of Congress and Getty vocabularies. 

Columbia Project Proposal

Deliverables
  • Linked data descriptions of art resources in the Art Properties collection.
  • Workflow to connect public-facing linked data to MARC circulation and other inventory data in spreadsheets or other sources.
  • Evaluation and publication of project findings.
