The Semantic Lab has developed several innovative tools to facilitate digital arts and humanities research using linked open data principles and technologies. We will provide an overview of these tools and their applications by featuring use cases from the E.A.T.+LOD Project which focuses on archival documents from the Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) collection of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
After generating and modeling linked open data from Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.), a collection of documents from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation’s artist archive, the Semantic Lab is now focusing on how to leverage the data for archival exploration.
As a Pratt Fellow at the Watson Library I my projects included cataloging donations and sending and receiving bookbindery orders.

The History of the Accademia di San Luca, c.1590-1635: Documents from the Archivio di Stato di Roma (ASL) is an extensive online research database home to archival materials and documents of the Accademia di San Luca located in Rome, Italy, and is maintained by the National Gallery of Art. The team of four User Experience (UX) consultants conducted seven moderated user tests. The test participants were given a specific list of tasks to follow while navigating the website. Participants encountered usability issues related to navigation, search features, and the map tool throughout testing that impacted their interactions with the ASL website.
This research project was conducted to support Dr. Irene Lopatovska’s initiative to redesign a management + leadership course for information professionals at the Pratt Institute School of Information. To inform the course curriculum, we conducted a content analysis of similar course offerings at other iSchools and their syllabi, reviewed the literature on curriculum development in information disciplines, and surveyed and interviewed information professionals, iSchool faculty, and students to prioritize the topics to be covered. We compiled the findings of this research in a poster to share with the rest of the Pratt iSchool community, and these findings will be instrumental in designing the curriculum for a course focused on developing the next leaders and movers and shakers of various information industries.

The finished product is a gamified experience designed to make museum exhibits accessible to younger audiences.
The New York City Historic House Trust (HHT) is composed of 23 houses built during 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. These houses have rich histories, and many are associated with major events and notable inhabitants. In this project, used textual analysis and GIS software to identify global locations associated with these events and people, then mapped them alongside the HHT sites to identify areas of historical significance and visualize global connections to the houses’ history.
This presentation outlines a metadata application profile (MAP) for creating records for streaming performance art videos held by the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics. It includes the functional requirements, project values, domain model, element set, metadata entry form, cataloging guidelines, and crosswalk for the profile; elements are drawn from PBCore, VRA Core, and METS Rights. Taken together, these components comprise a framework for creating good-quality, consistent metadata that will increase search and retrieval capabilities for Hemi users.

During my time as the Pratt Fellow in the Brooklyn Museum Archives I worked on processing and completing a finding aid for one of the most utilized collections that is currently also the most challenging to access. This collection comprises the bulk of the institution’s visual representation, the Department of Photography records [PHO]. As part of processing the collection, I had to extract information about the collection from Microsoft Access and migrate it to ArchivesSpace. My poster presentation will showcase some of my experiences while completing this project.
