Abstract
This thesis proposes a Visual Art microformat specification which defines a way to semantically mark up information about visual art on the World Wide Web. Art museums are increasingly displaying and interpreting their collections online but adding semantics to the works of art on the web is complex and problematic. Primary research consists of documentation of labeling practices of four art museums and interviews with curators and relevant art museum professionals. The thesis demonstrates that information about visual art objects is in common use and relatively standardized. The thesis suggests that the proposed microformat is suitable to describe simple semantics of visual art labels on the web and indicates potential benefits of using the proposed microformat.
