Motivation

[edit]

The NGL are introducing PIDs for various, topics, including works, artists, catalogues and more.

Two formatter URLs are given above; the first returns JSON, the second a human-readable web page. Eventually only one (the former) will be needed, as content negotiation will be introduced. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:21, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I now have over 2,700 of these IDs, matched to Wikidata IDS, ready to add with QuickStatements. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:28, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]

Support: important collection of works globally, and will enable better cross collection searching. The National Gallery are also part of a large consortium of organisations working on the Heritage Data Service (funded by UK research council), and interoperability will be vital for facilitating this.
