Understanding the techniques of artists is an essential part of studying art and art history. Artivity is an RDF-based platform which can document the creation process of digital artwork along with the research method. The captured data is critical for attributing art which is increasingly shared online, but also for interpreting individual artworks and their context within a given social and technical environment. The project is a cooperation of the University of the Arts, London and Semiodesk GmbH and was funded by JISC.
