Purpose

\n

Linked Art has a small but useful ecosystem of libraries, platforms, validators, modeling aids, and data-cleaning tools. This page records the resources most relevant to Meta Museum so future implementation, validation, and evaluation work can choose from known Linked Art-oriented tools instead of starting from scratch.

Meta Museum Notes

\n

The most immediately useful resources for this project are the JSON Validator for quick external shape checks, LinkedArt.js for possible JavaScript-side inspection utilities, Crom for Python-based import/export experiments, OpenRefine for provider-data cleanup workflows, and Zellij for mapping-template or evaluator-facing pattern references.

\n

Arches, Ogee, and LUX are better treated as architectural comparison points rather than dependencies. They are useful evidence that Linked Art can support production cultural heritage systems, but Meta Museum's locked stack stays Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres, Solr, and GraphDB unless the architecture decision record changes.
