Increasing Visibility, Accessibility, and Engagement with Publications: A Case Study of the Vancouver Art Gallery
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Publishing in a gallery setting is a means of generating and disseminating scholarship around the institution's holdings, exhibitions, and activities.Though publishing is an important part of their mandates, many galleries can't support a publishing department or a full-time publishing coordinator.This predicament is one experienced by the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG), despite producing several publications a year.In 2013 the VAG lacked the resources to create the infrastructure necessary to support its publishing activities while simultaneously producing new publications; as such, it was a challenge for it to undertake long-term strategic planning, document publishing activities, and distribute its backstock.In response to these challenges, the VAG's Publications Coordinator initiated a publication study from May to December 2013.During this study research was conducted on how the VAG and other institutions publish, and a series of recommendations for the VAG were formed.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
