Incorporating External URIs Into the Whitney\u2019s Linked Data<\/h3>\n

After my success with querying VIAF last week, I\u2019d like to explore incorporating person\/institution URIs from other institutions into the Whitney\u2019s constituent URIs as well.<\/p>\n

The Florentine Renaissance Drawings<\/em>\u00a0project plans to incorporate linked data and images from the British Museum into its URIs. Linking the Whitney\u2019s data to external sources could have similar enrichment value.<\/p>\n

The Smithsonian American Art Museum seems like it would be the most obvious source for enrichment. The SAAM has internal URIs for all of the artists in its collection, many of which include bios and images.<\/p>\n

The Smithsonian Archives of American Art also seem like it could provide some enrichment value. The SAAA\u2019s website looks to have been redesigned and relaunched within the last month or so, and the site has persistent URIs for many archival items related to the Whitney Foundation Collection.<\/p>\n

Connecting the URIs of archival documents to constituent URIs may be somewhat of a challenge, however. CIDOC\u2019s event structure could be applied to archival documents in a similar way to how it is applied to art objects (http:\/\/ceur-ws.org\/Vol-1117\/paper5.pdf<\/a>). CIDOC\u2019s P129 is about (is subject of)\u00a0could be used to connect various types of E73 Information Object(s) (ie archival documents) to constituents (as per the Carnegie Provenance Model<\/a>). This may be better left to a later stage in the project when object and constituent URIs have already been created, but it would be an interesting challenge. Connecting art collection items to archival documents, which was one of the primary goals of me and Victoria\u2019s Art Documentation project this past fall, is something that continues to interest me, and it would interesting to explore how linked data could facilitate these connections.<\/p>\n

Querying the Smithsonian American Art Museum\u2019s Data<\/h3>\n

The SAAM doesn\u2019t have an API, but it does have a SPARQL endpoint.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the SAAM\u2019s person\/institution URIs do not include a literal value for the person\u2019s name, meaning I can\u2019t use SPARQL to search for the names of Whitney constituents. These URIs also don\u2019t include any links to outside name authorities like ULAN, VIAF, or Wikidata. This seems like a pretty bad linked data model, as it makes it difficult to connect constituents in the SAAM collection to non-Smithsonian resources.<\/p>\n

Given these limitations, I\u2019m going to try manually scraping the SAAM\u2019s Browse Collections <\/a>to see if I can extract any useful URIs.<\/p>\n

Meeting With Alison<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m now set up with access to the Opendata Server via phpMyAdmin. Not set up with access in MySQL Workbench yet, but can upload\/download via online CMS.<\/p>\n
