USask Art Gallery Application Profile
Dataset Status: Published
Purposeβ
To document how the University of Saskatchewan Art Gallery Collection data is modelled for compatibility with the wider LINCS data model. This document provides patterns used in the mapping of University of Saskatchewan Art Gallery data which correspond to the categories outlined in the LINCS Application Profile Main Document.
This document introduces class and property concepts as used in this specific context (LINCS and the University of Saskatchewan Art Gallery dataset), and are not complete definitions. Consult CIDOC CRM v. 7.1.1 documentation for full class and property descriptions.
