Overview
This dataset contains the data of the three databases "Deutsch-Französische Kunstvermittlung 1870-1940, Paris", "Deutsch-Französische Kunstvermittlung 1870-1940/44, Berlin" and "Deutsch-Französische Kunstvermittlung 1945-1960, Paris" as Spreadsheets and a JSON-document as well as a platform to display the data.
The data was gathered and entered into former databases between 1999 and 2005. In 2019 the data was migrated to a MySQL-database and in 2021 the MySQL-database was exchanged by Elasticsearch.
Research data
The data was gathered and entered into three former databases between 1999 and 2005 and in the realm of two research projects. Both projects were carried out by the DFK Paris in cooperation with the Kunsthistorisches Institut, Freie Universität Berlin. The principal Investigator of both projects was Thomas W. Gaehtgens.
From 2021 to 2022 the data has been semantically enriched and the presentation on the website has been redesigned. These measurements were part of a project led by Anne Klammt.
Software
In general, this platform allows the integration of that data into web based systems such as content management systems. To be independent of the target technology, the integration is implemented with a set of customized HTML tags with no assumptions on lower layers. An API-only web application retrieves the data from an Elasticsearch instance and relays to the widgets.
A README in this dataset serves as documentation. It aims to provide information on:
the requirements to run the application
how to set up the API-application
importing the data from the included json documents
importing the additional image databuilding the javascript integration asset
how to integrate the widgets on a third-party page
Requirements
linux (not a requirement but the howto in documentation assumes linux)
elasticsearch (2.2.3)
ruby (2.2.5)
nodejs (4.4.4), only for building
