Knowledge Graphing Art Archives: Methods and Tools from the Semantic Lab’s E.A.T. Project

Open Access

Abstract

This paper describes a methodological process for converting primary and secondary sources into a knowledge graph centered on the U.S. avant-garde movement Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.). Data was sourced from documents from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Archives, a published bibliography by E.A.T. co-founder Billy Klüver, and edge-notched cards from the Getty Research Institute. Processed with custom tools, allowing for semantic encoding of statements through “painting triples”, the data is stored in and accessible through a Wikibase knowledgebase. This approach aims to reduce barriers to creating knowledge graphs and expand reuse opportunities for research, applications, and data integration in cultural heritage contexts.
