Notable Features
Purpose Built
We built the panOpticon platform specifically for Catalogue Raisonné publishers. For 10 years, we have worked closely with scholars and editors, constantly making sure that our software meets all the criteria for presenting a perfectly crafted Catalogue.
Uniform Data Standards
Our system follows best practices as recommended by leading members of the Catalogue Raisonné Scholars Association. We use the Getty Categories for the Description of Works of Art as a standard for describing cultural objects and The Chicago Manual of Style as a style guide. We are also indebted to the resources of the Association of Art Editors (AAE) and The Art Institute of Chicago Guide to Museum Publications. And finally, we continue to work with professional catalogers to update and improve our software protocols. Uniform data standards not only promote the recording of information consistently, they are fundamental to retrieving it efficiently. Data standards also improve content management, eliminate redundancy, and make for meaningful information sharing.
Automatic Formatting and Styling
Our carefully constructed layout and easy-to-navigate interface promotes proper data input. In addition, users can easily see the data they enter in comparison with how that data could look when published. We give the client the ability to view all content with proper styling and punctuation—in order to help users edit as they go.
Controlled Vocabularies
We keep free-text fields to a minimum, since a cataloger is often forced to cram too much or too-diverse data into these. Instead, we use larger sets of controlled fields, each with their own separate vocabularies. Controlled vocabularies are groups of preferred words or phrases of delimited scope (linked to authority files) that are used to index and retrieve content efficiently.
Linking and Enhancing Data
We have created a variety of ways for users to relate and connect their data together—creating multiple nodes of discovery. The core goal is to link artworks to owners, exhibitions, and publications in order to create a complete history for an artwork. In addition, we provide: multiple ways for users to link artworks, specifying the relationships; e.g., unlimited key-wording for artworks, the ability to link other record types together, such as exhibitions and publications. In addition, you are able to upload unlimited images and supporting materials to any record.
Revision History
Timestamp details and revision histories by specific users help keep track of when data has been updated, therefore creating accountability.
Control What People Can See
Whether you have worked with us to publish your website, or you are just using the database software, you can control what content users can see with the option to publish or hide records, linkages, and additional material. If you do publish your website with us—all of your updates are live as soon as you click "save."
User Management
Create unlimited users with varying levels of accessibility to your database. From admin, to editors, to read-only users—you can even control which sections of the database users can edit.
