Framing the Museum GitHub Repository – Berkman Klein Center Collection – Medium

"When we use information, we need to understand what we’re looking at. We do this by framing that information — sharing new details about what it is and how we can use it. For museum collections that connect data points across centuries of artworks and objects, institutions are turning to new tools to share and communicate that data. Here, we can look at four institutions using GitHub as a platform to share collections data — the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian, Design Museum, and the Tate collection — as an opportunity to parse current practice in this area."
