The E.A.T. Knowledge Graph Project (Wikibase Project Page)

Background

Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) was an organization founded in 1966 by artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman, and engineers Billy Klüver and Fred Waldhaer that operated from the mid-sixties to the late-seventies. The organization brought together artists and engineers to collaborate on a variety of projects including avant-garde artwork and performance, with the express goal of transforming both industries. The E.A.T. mission states that "to firmly establish the artists' free access to technology, engineering and the technical processes is not only a cultural, educational or aesthetic problem but amounts in fact to an organic social revolution."

Project Description

The Semantic Lab's E.A.T. Knowledge Graph Project (formerly named E.A.T.+ LOD) seeks to find new ways of using archival documents as a source for linked data. It is part of an ongoing collaboration with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.

The E.A.T Knowledge Graph Project includes a subproject that aims to transform the E.A.T. Bibliography into linked data. (record | description).

Scope

The bulk source of data is a collection of 141 documents shared by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Archives including an oral history with Julie Martin, former E.A.T. Director. Martin also offered primary sources regarding E.A.T. from her personal collection, and has been a source of guidance and knowledge all throughout the course of this linked data project. Additional documents regarding E.A.T. have been provided by the Cooper Union Archives & Special Collections and The Getty Institute Special Collections.

Featured Sources

E.A.T. Bibliography, August 12, 1965-January 18, 1980/ by Billy Klüver. Rev. ed. New York: Experiments in Art and Technology, 1980.

P127	work performed	used to connect an event or performance to an artwork.	Similar to Music Ontology’s performance_of.
P128	performance instance	used to connect an artwork to a performance.	Similar to Music Ontology’s performed_in.
P131	sub-event	used to connect an event to a performance.	Derived from Schema.org and the Carnegie Hall Project.
P132	super-event	used to connect a performance to an event.	Derived from Schema.org and the Carnegie Hall Project.
P185	uses	item or concept used by the subject or in the operation	Derived from Wikidata.

Properties for References and Annotation
Property ID	Property label	Property description	Source
P200	file URL	source URL for the visual representation of an asset.
P249	full work available at URL	URL of a web page containing the full body of this item.	Derived from Wikidata.
P114	reference URL	web address location on the Internet from which the statement was derived. Property used as a reference to a statement.	Derived from Wikidata.
P248	has bibliographic reference	a related resource that references, cites, or otherwise points to the described resource.	Derived from DCMI.
P247	bibliographic reference of	a related resource that references, cites, or otherwise points to the described resource.	Derived from DCMI.
P26	reference block	the block of text where you derive information. Property used as a reference to a statement.
P24	parent document	the original document that the reference block comes from; when documents are processed with Sélavy, parent statements are automatically added to Wikibase upon completion of the "Publish Blocks" page.
P253	described or depicted at URL	external source where subject is described or depicted.	Derived from Wikidata.

-Another main focus has been connecting art works with their specific performances, and the events at which they were performed. Our practice is to duplicate information across these different pages for easy querying. An example can be seen with the work [http://base.semlab.io/wiki/Item:Q19506 Pelican], with its specific performance [http://base.semlab.io/wiki/Item:Q20661 Pelican (First New York Theater Rally performance)], at the event [http://base.semlab.io/wiki/Item:Q19270 First New York Theater Rally].

-A number of properties used to model this performance data are reused from previous Semantic Lab projects, like “Linked Jazz” ([http://base.semlab.io/wiki/Item:Q2 record] | [http://base.semlab.io/wiki/Item_talk:Q2 description]). Beyond existing Semantic Lab Wikibase properties, we also looked to [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page Wikidata] (specifically [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Theatre/Properties WikiProject Theatre] and [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Performing_arts/Data_structure WikiProject Performing arts]), the [http://musicontology.com/specification/ Music Ontology], the [https://github.com/CarnegieHall/linked-data/blob/master/CarnegieHall_LOD_DataModel.png Carnegie Hall Project], and [https://schema.org/ Schema.org]. Here are some of the properties used, that were created specifically with the E.A.T. Project in mind.
