Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

Crystal Bridges Museum of Art will lead an initiative to publish data on American art drawn from the collections of 14 museums participating in the American Art Collaborative. In addition to collection data, the material to be published will include curatorial notes, videos, exhibition data, and a selection of links to resources outside the American Art Collaborative that add value to the subject of American art. The project will provide training, technical support, and guidance to help the museums convert their data and promote wide access to the material using linked open data. Information about the project will be disseminated through a website, presentations at conferences, and case studies illustrating the process of conversion and record maintenance to help other museums implement linked open data projects. .
