Assistant Director for Linked Data Research

LINKED DATA R&D

Research, data modeling and content design for the Joan Jonas Knowledge Base, a project of the Artist Archives Initiative based at New York University. Working directly under the Technology Research Director, I contributed to the project with research into performance and installation art data modeling and uploaded a small dataset to Wikidata. Working collaboratively with the tech and curatorial teams, I developed SPARQL queries and data visualizations relying on the Wikdiata Query Service in order to display the most interesting aspects of the data. I also contributed to the documentation and educational materials on linked data published on the final project website.
