Rails, leaflet.js. I parsed the museum locations from http://www.the-athenaeum.org/ http://www.the-athenaeum.org/. Hoping to add more paintings in the future.

- fidotron 13y agoThat's a great data source. I'd previously tried this with freebase data, but it's nothing like comprehensive enough when it comes down to individual artworks. Still, nicely done.
- pzaich 13y agoVery cool. I didn't know that freebase existed. The next best source may be some of the sites that have poster prints of art.
- fidotron 13y agoI'd recommend having a look at dbpedia as well - that was better for less structured data than in freebase for my tests. Freebase has great structured data about art movements though, which is likely to be more useful.
- toyg 13y agoI wish there was an option to see all artists or all paintings near me. As it is, I have to know in advance what I'm looking for. Nice work anyway.
- pzaich 13y agoI thought about setting that as the default view but would need HTML5 location approval. What were you thinking would be a good call-to-action?
- erichurkman 13y agoIt could be in the header, using the same iconography as map apps do for "find my current location": crosshair & circle [1]. [1] http://fontawesome.io/icon/crosshairs/ http://fontawesome.io/icon/crosshairs/
- a_olt 13y agoWhat about the paintings data? Where do you obtain it from? EDIT: I see the-athenaeum provides that information as well. Do you have a plan to keep up to date with the changes in locations?
