In this session, Sarah Seymore and Julie Simic will discuss how the University of Oregon migrated its digital collections to a new content management system and to linked open data (LOD). Specifically, she will give a practical description of the methodologies used for transitioning to LOD with a focus on the visual resource and historic photograph collections. Jon Ward will present his paper that explores issues surrounding releases of the Getty vocabularies — Art & Architecture Thesaurus® (AAT), Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names® (TGN), Union List of Artist Names® (ULAN), and Cultural Objects Name Authority® (CONA) — as LOD, which have been described as “game changers” in accessing art information.
