Omeka as Publishing Platform
As per this upcoming Museums and the Web workshop (http://mw17.mwconf.org/proposal/innovative-applications-and-data-sharing-with-linked-open-data-in-museums-exploring-principles-and-examples/), Omeka apparently supports RDF exporting in some form.
I’ve never used Omeka, but will be using it in one of my courses later this semester. I’m not sure how viable it is for publishing linked data, but it’s worth exploring.
Also interesting:

Meeting w/Cristina and Matt
CSV -> RDF Lib
Deliverable – report on how to model provenance
Gephi
Art dealers -> starting point for other connection
As Maggie more about provenance; where do they get their provenance info?
Don’t stress about databases
Opportunity to question how museum does things
Movement of objects over 10 year span
Provenance in different schemas (Dublin Core, etc)
Interview people
Method of provenance
In Summary
Realistically, it’s not really within the scope of the fellowship (or my technical abilities) to try to implement a database like I’ve been hung up on.
A good goal for the project would be to present a few examples of what the Whitney’s linked data could be, and to outline the methodology of how I came up with these model(s).
As far as a visual/deliverable, a Gephi network graph is always a good option.
Additionally, if I’m seeking to narrow down what elements I want to incorporate into the Whitney’s dataset, it might be helpful to talk to someone who works with the museum’s collection files (ie Maggie) or someone in the curatorial department to get a better sense of what the museum’s needs are, and how linked data could assist researchers and museum staff in accessing the information they need.
