Artwork Reference Data Model¶
Author: George Bruseker, Nicola Carboni
Version: 2.0
Introduction¶
The artwork reference data model provides a list of standard fields that are typically present in the general description of an artwork in a cultural heritage data system. The artwork is taken here in the sense of a movable, physical work of some sort such as would be typically inventoried by a museum. Specific documentation of elements of an artwork depends highly upon the kind of artwork it is. This reference model does not intend to cover such specificities but to remain at a general level description, providing a consolidated, high-level reference data model of most commonly reused descriptors for an artwork and to provide for these, in turn, a set of standard semantic mappings to the CIDOC CRM. Moreover, each field is marked with regards to its potential functionality with regards to instance matching between overlapping datasets. This reference data model aims to serve a number of functions including:
-
to support the creation of semantic data entry forms that will create ‘born semantic’ data streams
-
to serve as a reference guide in designing eventually compatible data structures for feeding into larger aggregations of Cultural Heritage data
-
to guide mapping processes of extant data sources with common mapping patterns
-
to be adopted by institutions acting as aggregation hubs in order to create consistent re-expressions of extant reference information in a common CIDOC-CRM based expression.
Sources¶
The decision on which fields to represent was based on a survey of significant, extant data sources of interest to the project. These were:

Model Sections Description¶
The fields used to describe an artwork can be functionally grouped according to higher level units in order to allow for an easier approach to the entry and navigation of the data by information category. The information categories identified have been enumerated in the following table.
| # | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Names and Classifications | This category gathers together descriptors used for assigning names and types to an artwork, both at present and historically. |
| 2 | Description | This category is used to gather together information regarding significant descriptions given of a work by known authors/sources. |
| 3 | Part/Whole | This category is used to bring together information relevant to the mereological relations between an artwork and its parts. |
| 4 | Existence | This category gathers together descriptors relevant to the tracking of the creation and destruction of an artwork. |
| 5 | Actor Relations | This category gathers together descriptors relevant to tracking the significant relations between the artwork and known actors. Primary of such relations are those of creator to the work. |
| 6 | Substance | This category gathers together descriptors used for stating the physical constitutional features of the documented artwork. |
| 7 | Representation | This category gathers together descriptors regarding the representational level recognised to be present in the documented artwork. |
| 8 | Events | This category gathers together information about significant documented events that an artwork may go through. |
| 9 | Location | This category gathers together information regarding the present location of a documented artwork. |
| 10 | Rights | This category gathers together information regarding the rights claims on a documented artwork. |
| 11 | Documentation | This category gathers together different descriptors that provide reference information with regards to an artwork. |
Names and Classifications¶
The attribution of names and types to artwork, as with other entities, is a basic human activity. A chief factor in disambiguating artworks lies in understanding the various names and identifiers that have been given to them at different moments in their individual histories. Likewise, additional classifiers of the artwork, such as how it has been classified as an object as such, give important distinguishing characteristics.

Description¶
Artworks are the subjects of innumerable descriptions that provide a wide range of information with regards to the aesthetic and historical importance of a work, inter alia. Such descriptions are of use in a scholarly understanding of an artwork and its reception just in case we are able to track the provenance of such elocutions in a systematic fashion. Such an aim drives the need for the tracking of description information as a separate category. The descriptors necessary to this task are documented in the table below.
| identifier | Name | Description | CRM Path | used by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| artwork_188_description | Description | This field is used to indicate a description of documented artwork | → P129i → E33[188_1] → P190 → rdfs:Literal | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_189_description_language | Description Language | This field is used to record the language of the description of the documented artwork. | → P129i → E33[188_1] → P72 → E56[189_1] | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_190_description_type | Description Type | This field is used to indicate the type of description given of the documented work. | → P129i → E33[188_1] → P2 → E55[190_1] | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_191_description_author | Description Author | This field is used to indicate the author of the description given of the documented work. | → P129i → E33[188_1] → P94i → E65[191_1]>-P14 → E39[191_2] | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_192_description_date_-_earliest | Description Date - Earliest | This field is used to indicate the ealiest date for the creation of the description of the documented work. | → P129i → E33[188_1] → P94i → E65[191_1] → P4 → E52[191_2] → P82a → xsd:dateTime | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_193_description_date_-_latest | Description Date - Latest | This field is used to indicate the latest date for the creation of the description of the documented work. | → P129i → E33[188_1] → P94i → E65[191_1] → P4 → E52[191_2] → P82b —> xsd:dateTime | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_194_description_-_source | Description - Source | This field is used to record the source of the description of the documented artwork. | → P129i → E33[188_1] → P94i → E65[191_1] → P16 → E73[194_1] | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
These descriptors should be deployed together in order to provide full context to ‘text blobs’ by means of authorship, type of description as well as the time of articulation.

Parthood¶
Artwork may require documentation not just as a whole, but with regards to its parts. This information category gathers together the basic descriptors typically deployed to this end.

Existence¶
Of essential import in identifying and tracking artwork is information pertaining to its existence in time, particularly information regarding its creation and destruction. For this reason, we have clustered descriptors relevant to such information in a common ‘existence’ category. These are described in the table below.
| identifier | Name | Description | CRM Path | used by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| artwork_58_production_date_-_earliest | Production Date - Earliest | This field is used to indicate the earliest date for the creation of the documented artwork. | → P108i → E12[58_1] → P4 → E52[58_2] → P82a → xsd:dateTime | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_59_production_date_-_latest | Production Date - Latest | This field is used to indicate the latest date for the creation of the documented artwork. | → P108i → E12[58_1] → P4 → E52[58_2] → P82b → xsd:dateTime | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_60_production_location | Production Location | This field is used to indicate the place of the creation of the documented artwork. | → P108i → E12[58_1] → P7 → E53[60_1] | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_62_destruction_date_-_earliest | Destruction Date - Earliest | This field is used to indicate the earliest date for the destruction of the documented artwork. | → P13i → E6[62_1] → P4 → E52[62_2] → P82a → xsd:dateTime | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_63_destruction_date_-_latest | Destruction Date - Latest | This field is used to indicate the latest date for the destruction of the documented artwork. | → P13i → E6[62_1] → P4 → E52[62_2] → P82b → xsd:dateTime | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_64_destruction_location | Destruction Location | This field is used to indicate the place of the destruction of the documented artwork. | → P13i → E6[62_1] → P7 → E53[64_1] | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_65_destruction_period | Destruction period | This field is used to indicate the historical period in which the creation of the documented artwork occured. | → P13i → E6[62_1] → P10 → E4[65_1] | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
| artwork_61_production_period | Production Period | This field is used to indicate the historical period in which the creation of the documented artwork occured. | → P108i → E12[58_1] → P10 → E4[61_1] | Swiss Art Research Infrastructure |
The above structure allows for the documentation of time and place of the creation and destruction of an individual artwork. Note that while ontologically speaking the agency of the creator and destroyer in the events of creation and destruction could be documented as part of this information unit, we have instead clustered this data in the Actors Relations category.

Actor Relations¶
The connection between artwork and actors provides another important set of descriptors for identifying and tracing an artwork. Particularly, basic interest clusters around the individuals involved in the creation of the artwork and those who own and/or hold the artwork presently. The actor relations information gathers these together.
| identifier | Name | Description | CRM Path | used by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| artwork_139_style_-_movement | Style - Movement | This field is used to record an artistic movement to which the documented artwork is associated because of its style. | → P140i → E13[139_1] → P141 → E74[139_2] → P140i → E13[139_1] → P2 → E55["P15 is influenced by"][139_3] |

Substance¶
The analysis and understanding of an artwork depends also on our knowledge of its materiality and physical characteristics. The category of substance brings together descriptors which are relevant to this form of analysis. Particularly, it groups information having to do with the composition and measurable aspects of the artwork as object. Information regarding the decomposition of the artwork into parts is found in the parthood category.
