Mapping the art 🗺️
At @smk, we've mapped the motifs in artworks in the museum collection to coordinates 📍
This makes the art explorable by location (the more ways to explore, the better, in our humble opinion).
See it in action @ our online collection SMK Open: https://open.smk.dk/en/map?q=*#2.16/70.25/-19.32

Footnote # 1: This replaces an earlier, less integrated setup
Footnote # 2: We've replaced Google Maps with @openstreetmap

More open: On National Gallery of Denmark's online collection 'SMK Open' (https://open.smk.dk/en) we're swapping out Google Maps for @openstreetmap to show artwork locations. 🗺️

Useful indoor mapping... 🗺️ Museums love to talk about "wayfinding" but it often amounts to PDFs. I'm thinking we should maybe provide a wayfinding API and then build far more dynamic services. Any ideas or examples of this out there?... 🤗

This will be very interesting to a very small group of people: 'For cultural institutions that provide metadata to the data space for cultural heritage, the implementation of IIIF Change Discovery provides an alternative to implementing OAI-PMH.' https://pro.europeana.eu/post/delivering-metadata-to-europeana-via-the-iiif-change-discovery-api
