Which describes a photograph of a painting of St Sebastian being tended by angels. You can see information about the painting at these sites:
The current, aging, online record built from the information above looks like:
Overview
The model for the photo archive is divided into two main parts: the description of the photograph and its provenance, and the description of the artwork depicted in the photograph. Both are treated as valuable objects in their own right.
The Photograph
The photograph in the archive does not have many properties in this record. Most are about the object depicted in the photograph.
In particular:
gcpa_acc_no: the Getty Accession numberphoto_color: whether the photograph is black and white, or colorphoto_collection: the original photographer or collector's collectionphoto_source: who the Getty acquired the photograph fromphoto_src_ref: the source's reference number for the photograph
Other records also have:
photo_date: the date the photograph was takenphoto_coll_ref: the reference number in the original collectionshelf_number: the (older) shelf-based reference number the photographacquisition_date: the date the photograph was acquiredphoto_notes: freetext notes about the photograph
The mapping approach is:
- The photograph itself is an object
- The
gcpa_acc_no,photo_src_refandphoto_coll_refvalues are identifiers, with collection specific contexts - The transaction between the
photo_sourceand the Getty is modeled according to the provenance model - The
photo_dateprovides the timespan for the creation of the photograph (we do not distinguish between the act of photographing and printing of the physical photograph) - The
photo_notesinformation is a note associated with the object, modeled in the same way as other descriptive texts. - The photograph then shows an image, which represents the art object, as described under depiction
This results in the model:
The Depicted Object
The rest of the information is about the object depicted.
- The
artist*fields,national_schoolanddateprovide the creation information and information about the artist. name_titleis the title of the object- The
current*fields,reference_numberandcollection_typeare the last known location and owner of the object, described using the provenance model height,widthanddimension_unitsplusmedia_materialsare the physical characteristics of the objectcategoryis object type, andfiling_categoryis the subject.excollections_provenanceis further known provenance information
Mapping in Detail
The Photograph
We create a ManMadeObject to represent the photograph, by checking the photo_color property to see whether it should be black and white (aat:300128359), color (aat:300128347) or if not present, then just a photograph (aat:300046300).
We construct a label for the photograph based on this type and the name of the object depicted.

A second Identifier for Anderson's identifier is created. This identifier is associated with the source collection. We also create an Acquisition activity, by which the photograph is acquired by The Getty. This is not shown in the example below, but is shown in the full description of the photograph.

We create the original collection, despite only having a label for it.
The above needs work, as the Anderson Collection does not currently aggregate the photograph. See Issue 147.
Plus we link the, as of yet unconfigured, Painting resource to it via a VisualItem.

We can thus fill in the data about the photograph to our model:
The Art Object
We can fill out a lot of details about the object itself. In particular, it has a Title (which we also associate with the object directly as a label), height and width dimensions in centimetres, and a parseable materials statement. We record both the statement as a LinguisticObject, as well as breaking the information out into machine readable material and part resources.

Due to research by the photo archive catalogers, we know a relatively recent (if not necessarily absolutely current) owner, location and identifier for the object. The owner and identifer follow the same pattern as for the identifiers of the photograph.

And its current location is very well described in the data, so we map all of it in this example. However, this is not a recommended pattern and instead a gazetter or vocabulary such as TGN or Geonames should be used instead. Only places that do not have existing identities should have new identities created. Instead, the city of Rome should be identified as tgn:7000874-place and then the TGN hierarchy used for the province, region, and country.
