By now [[Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings]] is much bigger in participants and content and activity has shifted from here to there. For the visual arts field, it hosts most the of maintenance and import work among other things. Here most of the ontological considerations take place, though.

The ontology or modelling '''guidelines''' for works of visual art, creators, organizations and more can be found at '''[[Wikidata:WikiProject Visual arts/Item structure]]'''. The page is somewhat chaotic, sorry!

== Goals ==
* Centralize discussions about best practices, notability rules, GLAM partnerships, import tools
* Map templates in {{Q|6064255}}, especially [[Commons:Template:Artwork]] onto Wikidata properties

== Some interesting resources ==
* [http://www.getty.edu/research/publications/electronic_publications/cdwa/index.html CDWA] (cf. {{Q|5051819}})
* [http://www.cco.vrafoundation.org/ CCO] (cf. [[:w:Visual Resources Association#Cataloguing Cultural Objects (CCO)]])
** CCO is a content standard, i.e. it describes how a work of art should be described, regardless of specific metadata schema or ontology. Its most valuable resource are the host of excellent examples that are included. Got it as single PDF if you want it --[[User:Vladimir Alexiev|Vladimir Alexiev]] ([[User talk:Vladimir Alexiev|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 10:06, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

== Tasks ==
See [[Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings#To-do list]] etc. on that WikiProject!

Wikimedia Commons: There are some quite boring matching tasks which have to be done. Any help is welcome, e.g.:
* Work on [[c:Category:Creator template maintenance]], [[c:Category:Institution template maintenance]], [[c:Category:Artwork template maintenance]]
