In 2018 the IPERION-CH Grounds Database was presented to examine how the data produced through the scientific examination of historic painting preparation or grounds samples, from multiple institutions could be combined in a flexible digital form. Exploring the presentation of interrelated high resolution images, text, complex metadata and procedural documentation. The original main user interface is live, though password protected at this time. Work within the SSHOC project aimed to reformat the data to create a more FAIR data-set, so in addition to mapping it to a standard ontology, to increase Interoperability, it has also been made available in the form of open linkable data combined with a SPARQL end-point. A draft version of this live data presentation can been found Here.

This is a draft data-set and further work is planned to debug and improve its semantic structure.This deposit contains the CIDOC-CRM mapped data formatted in XML and an example model diagram representing some of the key relationships covered in the data-set.
