Empty categories #32

Closed we-are-caper closed 7 years ago

we-are-caper commented 11 years ago

Obviously I don't expect every category to be populated, but filtering "art" by "small" and "medium" returns 0 entries, which might be seen to look at bit bad at launch, as it's the first set of filter. Is it possible to pop something in here for cosmetic purposes pls?!

Do we know of any art datasets that are reasonably small? Didn't the Whitworth gallery in Manchester do something?

we-are-caper commented 11 years ago

The Whitworth stuff just ran off a csv. I'm having a think/explore.

frankieroberto commented 11 years ago

Nothing wrong with CSVs – but are the files not public?

Brighton Museums seems to fit the bill http://www.images.brighton-hove-rpml.org.uk/assetbank-pavilion/action/browseItems?categoryId=1303&categoryTypeId=1

Whitworth data, on Tim Waters' github: https://github.com/timwaters/whitworth-landscapes

Question: what's the etiquette of linking to an individual's account, rather than an organisations in this context?

mildlydiverting commented 10 years ago

The Brighton stuff is in, btw.

Re Etiquette: I think it's fine to link to an individual's account - if it's up on github. But you can always message the person to ask.

However, https://github.com/timwaters/whitworth-landscapes is a hack made with the data, not actually the data?
