Hello ARLIS, Please see below for the official announcement <http://itatti.harvard.edu/news/drawings-florentine-painters-online-catalogue> of *The Drawings of the Florentine Painters*, a new Linked Open Data resource + search interface. Fellow ARLIS/NA member Lukas Klic and I presented on the project in New Orleans. Please feel free to send us any feedback you might have! Best, Alex---------- The Drawings of the Florentine Painters by Bernard Berenson. An Online Catalogue April 3, 2017 [image: The Drawings of the Florentine Painters by Bernard Berenson. An Online Catalogue] I Tatti is delighted to launch a new online catalogue <http://florentinedrawings.itatti.harvard.edu/> that transforms Bernard Berenson’s *The Drawings of the Florentine Painters *into Linked Open Data. A group of art historians and IT specialists incorporated data found in all three versions of Berenson’s foundational text: as it was first published in 1903, revised in 1938, then revised and translated into Italian in 1961. Though many catalogues exist for individual collections and artists, Berenson’s study is the only resource that includes drawings from across Europe and the United States by nearly seventy Florentine painters, from Taddeo Gaddi through Bronzino. The linked catalogue makes Berenson’s invaluable catalogue information available in a machine-readable format, allowing researchers to mine the source content in ways that were hitherto difficult or impossible. This project was made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
