Abstract

e-Artexte is the catalogue and digital repository of Artexte, a non-profit arts organization with a mandate to document contemporary art with a special interest in Canadian art practices and publishing. This presentation details the methodology and results of exporting the collection metadata into bipartite and single-mode networks, formatted for ingest into graph/network information visualization software Gephi and Cystoscape. The benefits of network representations of metadata, such as improved browsing and search user experience, are discussed in the context of this data set. The results include three network visualizations exported to the Web and accessible through a browser.
