Does anyone know what platform they used for this publication? Did they use the
OSCI toolkit? (There's nothing in the "about" section...)

> > Murtha Baca and Nuria Rodríguez Ortega, with notes and essays by Baca,
> > Ortega, Francesca Cappelletti, and Helen Glanville. This publication,
> > based on research that was conducted in the online collaborative

> > seventeenth-century manuscript, an inventory of artworks in the
> > collection of the Mellini family in Rome."

> > "In the thirteen brief essays that are part of the scholarly apparatus

> > relationship to a conventional legal inventory of the same art
> > collection that was drawn up just a year before. Pietro Mellini’s
> > Inventory in Verse, 1681, provides insight into the collecting

> > “The GRI’s first born-digital publication is more than an analysis of
> > a rare document or art historical text,” said Baca. “Like the
> > manuscript that is its focus, this online book is both hybrid and
> > unique. We believe that it represents a paradigm shift; unlike a
> > conventional print publication, the information gleaned from 17th
> > century texts is presented here in a way that takes advantage of the
> > non-linear and hyperlinked environment of the web. It was researched
> > and organized online and created to be navigated the way people
> > intuitively use information on the Internet.” She went on to say,
> > “Another key feature of our project was the fact that it is truly a
> > multi-author work; ours was a deliberate attempt to break with the
> > single authorial voice that has largely dominated art-historical
> > monographs.”
> >
> > Unlike a conventional print publication, this online book does not
> > simply provide a list of the artists mentioned in the inventory, but
> > provides these artists’ names as controlled vocabulary, linking the
> > names as they appear in the inventory (often with alternate spellings)
> > to the full information in one of the GRI’s electronic thesauri, the
> > Union List of Artist Names (ULAN)®. Similarly, the publication’s “List
> > of Artworks” section provides information about the works in the
> > inventory including an art-historical analysis of them, but also
> > indicates what each work depicts using Icon class ubject categories.
