Getty: Getty Transforms Art Provenance Data to Support 21st Century Research. “First launched in the 1980s, the Getty Provenance Index (GPI) has evolved into an unparalleled resource for tracing the ownership history of artworks, serving as a cornerstone for research on provenance, collecting, and art markets. Now, after nearly a decade of redevelopment, Getty has reimagined this essential […]

If you care about software #traceability #provenance #compliance #safety critical... you must learn about software intrinsic identifiers. This is an outstanding opportunity to learn about the most promising one, #SWHID https://www.fair-impact.eu/events/fair-impact-events/meet-software-hash-identifier-do-one-thing-and-do-it-well?utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=FAIR%20Implementation%20Workshop%20-Meet%20the%20SoftWare%20Hash%20Identifier

wikidata + mediawiki = wikidata + provenance == wikiprov

Today I want to showcase a Wikidata proof of concept that I developed as part of my work integrating Siegfried and Wikidata.

That work is wikiprov a utility to augment Wikidata results in JSON with the Wikidata revision history.

For siegfried it means that we can showcase the source of the results being returned by an identification without having to go directly back to Wikidata, this might mean more exposure for individuals contributing to Wikidata. We also provide access to a standard permalink where records contributing to a format identification are fixed at their last edit. Because Wikidata is more mutable than a resource like PRONOM this gives us the best chance of understanding differences in results if we are comparing siegfried+Wikidata results side-by-side.

I am interested to hear your thoughts on the results of the work. Lets go into more detail below.

With digital seals, broadcasters can make the provenance of their content transparent and visible to users. How do those markers work, and what are their limitations?

In which I export this picture and discover that Lightroom now supports C2PA, so I dig into the feature and tools; there is real high-value progress here, but also problems: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2024/10/29/Lane-Provenance

I think this is important stuff.

What does it mean to find Arthur Pfannstiel in a provenance or as the author of a reference?

Nothing good, that's for sure.

Tricks for obtaining a "good #provenance" for looted #antiquities:

(from: Günther Wessel)

1. ‘Certification’ by old aristocrats or colonial officials

- find an impoverished nobleman in Europe who will say his family owned it. It is impossible to expose it as a #lie.

2. Circular sale
- after a certain period, #auction with a provenance " Private #collection ca. 1970", buy it at auction yourself

3. Forging the paperwork
('use old typewriters and paper ’ )
