Reference Standard Profile 1.0
Published /profile/1.0 as a reusable Metaconceptual Art Linked Open Art application profile with a JSON-LD context, SHACL shape, JSON Schema, validation fixtures, starter template, browser validator, npm validation command, VoID/DCAT dataset descriptors, /.well-known/void, and a SHA-256 release manifest. Added a publication-status vocabulary and portfolio staging policy so the project can connect to the Linked Art / LOD web now while private and forthcoming portfolio works stay out of public evidence until intentionally released.
Machine-Readable Foundation
Added a bot-facing /llms.txt index, a Metaconceptual Art linked-open-art profile, a lightweight JSON Schema validation shape, and a citable Linked Art LinguisticObject record for the Movement Record. The record, graph, collection, Systems register, content negotiation, and route-smoke tests now treat the movement claim as a standards-backed evidence surface.
Post-v0.8: Interactive And Quality Polish
Added the Explore graph, Today in the Graph spotlight, per-work detail pages, IIIF deep-zoom support, build-time social cards, dark gallery mode, sitemap, robots.txt, branded 404, error boundary, web-app manifest, skip-to-content link, and the shared Wikidata helper used by the interactive islands. The test suite now covers graph integrity, Linked Art record IDs, routes, and exported assets.
v0.8: Next.js Migration
Migrated the hand-written static site to Next.js (App Router) with static export, while preserving every page, the semantic markup, the JSON-LD, and the Linked Art data layer. Shared header and footer became components, the Wikidata live query a client component, and the Linked Art HTTP content negotiation moved from .htaccess to vercel.json. The site now deploys from GitHub automatically instead of by manual upload. A seventh page, the Curatorial Statement, was added.
v0.7: Dereferenceable URIs And Event-Driven Discovery
Closed the last gaps to full Linked Art API 1.0 dereferencing. Each record now has a single extensionless canonical URI served with real content negotiation: Accept: text/html 303-redirects to the human page, Accept: application/ld+json returns the profiled JSON-LD, and the old .json URL 301s to the canonical one. The discovery stream became genuinely event-driven — every Create/Update activity is generated from the records' real git-commit history. A live-endpoint prober asserts the served behaviour (status, media type, CORS, negotiation, redirects), with production checked on a schedule and on demand.
v0.6: Linked Art API 1.0 Conformance Pass
Brought the Linked Art layer to API 1.0. Corrected the CRM types — the website and image became DigitalObjects, the Eight Sentences a textual LinguisticObject — and classified every name, identifier, and statement with its AAT term. Added standalone records for the studio (Group), the concept, and a provenance activity (with a CC-BY RightAcquisition), a HAL _links block on every record, an Activity-Streams discovery collection, and an .htaccess serving everything as application/ld+json with GET/OPTIONS and CORS for full static conformance. The records are certified against the Getty cromulent reference library (which caught and fixed a real CRM error) plus a JSON-LD expansion, and that certification now runs in CI on every push.
v0.5: Linked Art (CIDOC-CRM) Object Records
Published per-artwork Linked Art JSON-LD — the museum data standard built on CIDOC-CRM — for the works on view and the website itself, bound together by a collection Set. Each record cross-walks its Getty AAT/ULAN classifications to Wikidata, so an object is legible to actual collection systems. The records live under data/linked-art/ and are linked from each work.
v0.4: Getty Vocabularies / Linked Art Layer
Extended the linked-data grounding into the art domain. Each concept and figure now carries its Getty identifier — ULAN for people, AAT for concepts — alongside its Wikidata QID, recorded in data/graph.json and surfaced in the Systems node register. The museum is now legible to the art world's own authority files, not only the general graph.
v0.3: Wikidata Knowledge-Graph Layer
Grounded the semantic layer in Wikidata. Each concept, source, and influence node now carries a stable Wikidata identifier, the node register exposes those as linked open data, and the Systems page queries Wikidata live for related concepts. Added a canonical graph data file at data/graph.json and sameAs links in the structured data.
v0.2: Roadmap Implementation Pass
Added real routes for Artworks, Theory, Systems, About, and Changelog. Published six initial works, one primary theory text, a ten-node semantic graph, citation block, colophon, and visible provenance structure.
v0.1: Sentence Sequence And Landing System
Reframed the Eight Sentences as a proposition sequence after Sol LeWitt, removed overclaiming language, added accessible glosses, visual anchor treatment, and a visible semantic graph.
