SPARQL is a query system that allows people to search either random or preexisting terms in RDF: Resource Description Framework. This framework allows people to link a specific term…

Exhibit.so: Witches of Harvard Art Museum
By Claudia Davidson https://www.exhibit.so/exhibits/yeBTwfxsHQMV3nGgWVgs I used Exhibit.so to create a “Witches of Harvard Art Museum” collection. I did so by searching Harvard Art Museum’s virtual collection with the keyword “witch.” I used images with IIIF manifest links, and found that most of the virtual collection has them. This assignment was enjoyable for me, as I…

I had initially hoped to gain some experience using Quire for digital publication of objects, but my coding and web design experience is incredibly limited, and I had a difficult time learning the…

The exhibit includes four pieces that I sourced from this Digital Commonwealth collection. Through Exhibit.so I was able to write general comments about…

Digital Systems: IIIF and Exhibit.so
For this project, I experimented with IIIF and Exhibit.so and attempted to use them to create an exhibit of my item set from the Digital Objects assignment. Initially I found myself feeling daunted by the task, since I have not had much experience with digital systems and exhibits such as these. In particular, the concept…

Digital Systems: Exhibit.so
For my digital systems assignment, I decided to use exhibit.so since it was the site that was recommended for beginners. It uses IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) manifest URL for creating the digital objects for a collection. The IIIF is a data standard which was designed by the cultural heritage community to make creating, sharing,…

I decided to go with Quire, (https://quire.getty.edu/) a publishing tool that LAM professions can use to create professional digital exhibits. As a web developer, starting a project with a new…

Have you ever played the parlor game “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon?” In the game, you pick an actor and then try to recall connections to other actors or films that will lead you to Kevin Bacon in six steps or less. The path from any actor to Kevin Bacon is an example of “Linked…
