Artdata links the insight and knowledge of the artist to the practical  experience of a librarian during the development of a digital oeuvre catalogue. Once catalogued the data are available in various formats with selected details such as title, theme, material or date for the artist, artlover, gallery owner, auctioneer, curator, restorer or even bookkeepers.

A well managed collection during lifetime also eases the immortal care by family, friends or curators. This too could be an incentive to regard the cataloguing of artwork as an essential part of the profession.

Artdata offers advice and guidance. Together with the knowledge and input of the artist or those in charge this results in a sustainable solution for  collection management that will last longer than a lifetime.

Exchange and permanent access to data are guaranteed by (international) standards for data management.
