Title: Text mining the history of art: Opportunities and challenges for large-scale, long-term data extraction
Source: Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, 38(3), 1322-1345
DOI: Link
Annotation:
This paper explores the opportunities and challenges of text mining within art history, focusing on extracting and structuring data from historical records. It provides a critical overview of methods like named entity recognition and relationship extraction, which are essential for generating structured datasets from raw text. The article is particularly useful for understanding the foundational methodologies required for applying large language models (LLMs) in provenance studies.

Title: Network Dimensions in the Getty Provenance Index
Source: Link
Annotation:
This report discusses the application of network analysis to the Getty Provenance Index, illustrating how relationships between artworks, collectors, and locations can be visualized and analyzed. It provides a conceptual and practical framework for network-based approaches, which can be complemented by LLM-based structuring of text data. This is highly relevant for understanding how provenance data can inform larger narratives about cultural and economic networks in art history.

Title: Network Analysis on Provenance Graphs from a Crowdsourcing Application
Source: ResearchGate
Annotation:
This study explores the use of network analysis in understanding provenance data collected through crowdsourcing. The paper demonstrates the construction of provenance graphs and their interpretation using network metrics. It provides a case study approach that could guide the integration of structured text data into meaningful network visualizations and analyses.
