We have some data in Google Art Project (158 records) and are about to add
a bit more (10 new records) to join up with some new gigapixel images they
took of our art work. We have not had a great experience, having come into
the project it late. (Our initial data was published in January 2013.) Our
first experience involved a large amount of manual work directly in the
Google interface - very slow and laborious.

As in so many other data aggregation projects over the years, Google
essentially requires one to match their spec. They say they align with
LIDO, but unfortunately we do not at present, so did/are once again having
to manually prepare the data for load via CSV. There remain issues re:
their documentation (delivered via pdf) and the instructions stated online
not matching up in rather serious ways. Somehow I feel it ought to be
easier...

If you want to talk more specifically, please feel free to call me.

Cheers,
Frances
