Aesthetic.Computer as linked open data

Every public painting, piece, mood, and person on Aesthetic.Computer is published here as Linked Art — the JSON-LD profile of CIDOC CRM — so cultural-heritage researchers (e.g. at the Getty) can discover, query, and cite it with standard tools.

2,961 people · all works discoverable. Hover to pause; click any painting for its record.

Example queries

Every painting by @jeffrey:

curl -s 'https://data.aesthetic.computer/sparql' --data-urlencode 'query=
 PREFIX crm: <http://www.cidoc-crm.org/cidoc-crm/>
 SELECT ?work WHERE {
   ?work crm:P108i_was_produced_by/crm:P14_carried_out_by
         <https://data.aesthetic.computer/@jeffrey> }'

Because classifications are shared Getty AAT URIs, our data federates with the Getty's own — e.g. enrich each type with the Getty's preferred label (run from a client that federates both endpoints):

PREFIX crm: <http://www.cidoc-crm.org/cidoc-crm/>
PREFIX gvp: <http://vocab.getty.edu/ontology#>
PREFIX xl:  <http://www.w3.org/2008/05/skos-xl#>
SELECT DISTINCT ?type ?gettyLabel WHERE {
  SERVICE <https://data.aesthetic.computer/sparql> { ?work crm:P2_has_type ?type
    FILTER(STRSTARTS(STR(?type),"http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/")) }
  SERVICE <https://vocab.getty.edu/sparql> {
    ?type gvp:prefLabelGVP/xl:literalForm ?gettyLabel . } }

Or fetch one record's JSON-LD directly: curl -H "Accept: application/ld+json" https://data.aesthetic.computer/painting/vi7 — inspect it in the JSON-LD Playground.

Rights & opting out

These records describe work that is already public on aesthetic.computer — authorship, date, type, and a link to the image — much like a museum catalog entry. By default each is marked In Copyright: the record is open and citable, but copyright and the right to sell stay entirely with the artist. Artists may opt in to an open Creative Commons license to allow reuse, or opt out to be excluded — just ask.
