ArtFrame, led by Columbia University Libraries, is a domain-specific sub-project of Linked Data for Production (LD4P), a Mellon-funded, cross-institutional effort aimed at piloting the production of linked data in libraries. The ArtFrame vocabulary is an extension of BIBFRAME and LD4P/LD4L-Lab's bibliotek-o ontologies to describe works of art (both two-dimensional and three-dimensional) natively as linked data. This Webinar will discuss the work completed by Columbia staff and the ArtFrame Extension Group, including use cases , modeling areas, tools, outcomes, and lessons learned.

Learning Outcomes

  • Introduce the Linked Data for Production (LD4P) project
  • Introduce the ArtFrame domain-specific sub-project 
  • Review existing descriptive cataloging standards for works of art
  • Review use cases for describing art objects as linked data within a library environment
  • Review and outline the modeling areas for ontology development to describe art objects and their intrinsic and extrinsic properties
  • Review tools that were used throughout the project
  • Review outcomes of the project and lessons learned

Who Should Attend

Art librarians, metadata librarians, catalogers, and catalog librarians
